The state of the church today.

[ironglowz]

  That being the state of the church overall today. not excluding any denomination or non-denomination.

   Those attending "affirming" ...sin ignoring churches are also leaving...although those deeply trapped by some favorite sin, may stay.

  The big, mega-churches are falling apart, the big churches which are little more than Rock & roll concerts, seem to be following. 

    Then there are the "affirming" churches, who seem to think that grace covers al..so keep on sinning if you wish.  This error is called Antinomianism".

    The young people/families are disbursing.

   They got tired of the glitter and often trickster atmosphere, some are just stepping away from God, others, who truly want to learn and follow the savior are hungering for a place where they can hear the true gospel preached, with the same fervor and level of truth as trhe first century preachers did.

       Today, our Pastor Josiah brought some of those first century preachers, back for an encore !

  If you like sound, Biblical preaching, try Pastor Si !     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIvdcTKYqW8

   With such preaching and a no-nonsense program all round, I predict the church will grow, since there are still some seeking Biblical truth !

Kind of disagree that mega churches are falling apart. There is one about 20 miles from me that just added a 4th service, because the three they had were becoming over crowded. Meaning four to seven hundred people at each.
 One Saturday evening, and three Sunday morning. Never been there, but hear that there is a short message from the pastor, then lots of entertainment. I still feel plenty of people go to church to be entertained, and/or hear what they want to hear. Lots of pastors that give into what the masses want. Entertainment, and feel good messages, instead of telling the masses what they actually need to hear. It equals more money in the pastors pocket, and more people attending.
