I was listening to Jimmy Evans describe the culture of Noah's day versus ours. That generation seemed hostile towards God......same as this.I remember growing up that even those unsaved not in church people at least had a reverence for God, the gospel, church...etc....not the case anymore.I had to take a look at the church we attend and frankly, we have not had too many....maybe close to zero converts that have stayed committed.One church in our area is growing leaps and bounds, but it is mainly transfer growth. Now, looking at other countries, there seems to be a different story.

I have seen nothing but transfers from other churches, and those from several denominations “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”

only a small handful of visitors, none who have stayed.We are down to 5 people, all of one extended family, and two of them are facing serious health issues.I think everyone is having attendance issues Randy Johnson, PastorIckesburg Church of God85 Tuscarora Path

It seems like G-d is not in your messages. In the Book of Acts G-d brought the people in. Seems like u need yo go back & see what their Message was. If this helps it's the same as Y'shua's MessageTeach ur People about G-d & His Ways, u will never go wrong. Everybody knows what Messiah has done, everybody knows G-d is love & He loves them, everybody knows about tithing....But they don't know G-d.......or His Ways.....Because, as the days of Noah was, so will it be when Y'shua comes back. Only a small Remnant made it out, for Righteousness sake. Noah was a preacher of Righteousness 2 Peter 2:5...Torah is Righteousness Deut 6:25I think you need to repent and change a message to G-d'sShabbat Shalo Ps 122:6

I must say I agree with SD here. I like to see results from ideas myself. I pastored two churches that I was just a care taker. It was personally rewarding because I loved the few that were there. Then I pastored on that grew. The one that grew was a new plant. The only thing different was the last one was new, I was the same. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Randy, most small churches are struggling concerning numbers and finances for a number of reasons. Please ignore the post that put the blame on you. When somebody like you shares his or her heart we need to reach out in love and encouragement. Some of the most loyal, giving, and sincere pastors I know lead very small churches. Amen “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”

Bump!
