What does it really mean to return to church and to Christian faith after being away for a while? That is the question our family faced.
Our search for the right church produced experiences that were sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, and often memorable.
I remember a time when Jesus wasn't preached with glib phrases, gimmicks, or glitzy trappings. There was just one magnificent Savior, exalted above everything else!
When our family began searching in earnest, we found that church had changed.
With all my heart, I wanted to find a church like the ones I remembered. I wanted a church with sunlight streaming through the windows and families raising their hands in praise.
I was naively listening for the sound of old hymns and old catchphrases. I wanted real gospel preaching, altar calls, and genuine salvation.
Where was it? I couldn't find it anywhere. Had it really disappeared?
We were determined to find a real church. Most of all, we wanted to know again what the Bible truly means.
