You know, the divorce rate in church's are equal to that of society in general.

yeah, that's not a surprise when you have churches built on worldly principles and teaching vain worldly philosophies (Colossians 2:8) e.g. purpose driven/entertainment based, church growth, emergent churches, word-faith fulfillment gospel, or other experientially based churches rather than preaching the whole truth, the hard truth, and nothing but the truth.

There was a REASON why Jesus told the woman at the well that the day had come to worship in spirit AND truth. Both are neccessary, IMHO. Bible-study church services are devoid of spirit and soul, and experiential services, as you call them, are simply entertainment. I believe with all my heart that Jesus wants both. At the same time.
