I am a young married man and my wife and I desire to be good Christian people. We think we ought to go to church and worship God, but as there are ten different churches in our neighborhood, where should we go?

It is true that we can worship the Lord at home, and unless we do worship the Lord at home, our church worship would be of little benefit. Worship is not a mere form but devotion of the heart. However, we are admonished of the Lord to “forsake not the assembling of ourselves together” (Hebrews 10:25), and we should look carefully for a gathering of the Lord’s people, however small in number. True Christians may be readily recognized by the test which the Master himself instituted, “by their fruits ye shall know them.”
