If churches would examine the current tithing/business model to see if it's actually biblical.

If churches would encourage bible literacy and not cherry pick verses.

If churches would take seriously the needs of the community and taught its members to carefully maintain good works.

If a church wasn't afraid to encourage husbands to spiritually lead their families and encourage wives to be submissive keepers at home (Titus 2:3-5).

Worship that focuses on God rather than the worship team or individuals.

An atmosphere of holiness and reverential fear of the Lord, His presence, and His sovereignty.

Preaching the whole word of God (not just the good parts) without compromising or watering it down.

Welcoming people from all walks of life, socio-economic, political backgrounds, and races, whether they are believers or not.

A church motivated by love—loving God and loving others.
