So, I did some research – I Googled it – to find out what the geniuses on the interwebs thought about the decline of church attendance in America. Here is a sample of what they said. “Reasons behind church attendance decline are varied and multi-layered, but a few main culprits include shifting cultural values, busier schedules, generational changes, lack of engagement, and scandal-plagued institutions.” Sounds to me like people are more easily offended and just don’t care like they used to.
I really believe it has more to do with a misunderstanding of the purpose of church. Let’s talk about that this coming Sunday morning and evening at Christ Fellowship. And hopefully you will understand better why I always say that you need the church and the church needs you! I love you all! — Todd
