<\/span><\/h3> Local pastors were interviewed in April of 2022 concerning low church attendance. After watching the interviews all I could do was sit in silence and sigh. Two factors are portrayed as the culprits, COVID and culture. Perhaps if the church would stop handing out sugar coated sermons to a decaying community these issues would be mute.Church decline is the result of the church being silent and complicit in a culture celebrating blatant acts against God. Perhaps the church needs to pour salt in the decay to kill the infection that lurks in the shadows of sin. Church leaders hiding behind masks like faithless zombies allowe the church doors to be closed during COVID. I don’t know about you, but I want my pastor firm in faith proving strong enough to face the giants. To make matter worse was the reason people should go back to church. One pastor said, “I just want to invite people, man get to your church, support your church. When you\u2019re not there, you\u2019re missed and if people don\u2019t show up, the churches will have to close their doors”<\/i> . The church should be more concerned about people getting into church so that they can be reconciled back to God through the remdemptive power of Jesus’ sacrifice. Worry about that, and the church doors will never close. {Click the icon for full interview}<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/p> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n
