Welcome to Real Christianity, where our mission is to bring the Church back to the Bible.

My name is Dale Partridge and I'm the president of Relearn.org and Reformation Seminary.

The premise of this show is simple.

The culture is growing darker.

The Church is in need of sound doctrine and many Christians are hungry for the truth.

Join me here each week as we look to scripture and discover what it really means to be a Christian.

Welcome to the show.

Today is going to be a little bit different.

We are going to take a break from our Romans study because I want to confront an issue that

I think is absolutely essential.

This is the issue of why you should put yourself or your family into membership at a local

church.

It's just to say that why you should make sure that you are connected to the local church.

It's my opinion actually that if you love your family, the most impactful, fruitful thing

that you can do is make sure that your family is connected to a local church.

I can't tell you how many times I have met families at the precipice of brokenness.

As a pastor, I'll get phone calls from people that I don't know or haven't talked to in many

years.

We'll say we're right about to have a divorce or we're separated or my husband's addicted

to pornography or my wife's in alcoholic or whatever it may be.

Life is falling apart and we need some help.

I go, where's your local church?
