“The church has about 125 members left, but often fewer than 30 show up on a given Sunday. Goodlow said 15 longstanding members met in recent weeks to discuss next steps”
This is what the left doesn’t understand (or perhaps they do, all too well!) that when you eviscerate the core of true believers, the institution collapses.
Why should people who don’t love Jesus and his word first go to church? They are donating their money to more worldly causes. The ones who really believe, who give their blood and sweat and toil, were sent away.
There are churches and there are social clubs. Funny how the two so often become confused.
