I've been church hopping the past few weeks and i've been very unsuccessful with finding a church that I'm comfortable with. Perhaps it's because I don't know what I want. I want good theology, but I want good application at the same time. I want a good speaker that can keep me intrigued, but I want him to be preaching like he knows everything like the back of his hand. I want good music, but I want the praise team to be careful in what music they choose. Frankly, I'm not even satisfied with my own home church sometimes, but I still go. Maybe that's the same scenario with everyone else. They find a church, make a lot of friends, and stay in that church the whole time they're here in college.
Today's church was the one that I knew the most people in, but the "good" pastor who everyone loves wasn't there because he's at some conference in South Africa. The senior pastor who spoke wasn't a great speaker, the music wasn't amazing and it didn't really help me reflect, and standing next to a tone deaf person who was constantly sharp didn't help with the experience either. It was very similar to my church in terms of beliefs, people, schedule, etc. but I'm always out there searching for some kind of flaw in something.
Perhaps I need to open my eyes and stop being so fickle about my choices. There is absolutely no way I can find a church that's PERFECT, but I just need to find a place that will help me grow spiritually. I still have 2 churches to check out in the next coming weeks, and I'll probably be visiting some of the other churches I went to and liked for a second time. Hopefully I'll find my fit soon.
