What would you think of someone who told you that they had made arrangements to move to a new planet, and then asked if you knew if the atmosphere was breathable?
A plea to prospective university students - Reformation21 Blog
I came across this today regarding young adults who first make the decision to attend a certain school, and then ask about churches in that city. Unfortunately, this sequence is not limited to university students; I have seen several people on the Puritan Board who accept a position in another city and then ask for church recommendations. To the best of my knowledge, there is no currently active thread on this subject, so it is a good time to make this post because I am not speaking of anyone in particular.
Brothers and sisters, please - do it the other way around if at all possible (and it usually is possible). Look first to provide for the spiritual benefit of your family, and then seek your employment or education accordingly.
