    Report: Americans are leaving Church & not returning

    Here's a report that came out in the Christian Post today. But from a personal view, what do you think is taking place with so many churches dying, closing, pastors resigning etc.?

    Surprising that the article didn't mention the church's response to Coronavirus and government mandates. I think churches that remained closed throughout most of the past 2 years are seeing that people are not returning as well. They have shown themselves how relevant they actually are.

    People will be involved with things they value. We have lost about 1/3 of sunday attendance. Our pastor is a straight up, uncompromising bible teacher, we move in the Holy Spirit allowing all the gifts. Some don't want that and would rather have a comfort group with a little contemporary music and will leave immediately if you bring conviction to their lives.

    Covid-19 highlighted who was fully and truly committed and who wasn't - In terms of church attendance and support - Unfortunately, some people didn't need an "excuse" to stop attending church.

    This is that great falling away Paul spoke of that needs to happen before the antichrist appears.

    That begs the question of "why".

    God is turning evil for the good. He has used Covid to separate the wheat from the tares and expose the hearts of men, even the ministry

    Perhaps the true church will arise out of this house cleaning.
