I believe this story and its data is flawed or just disinformation from a presstitute with an agenda..... I see more and more young people and their families attending than ever before here in Texas......
Most people believe in God and are religious in their own ways. One does not have to attend services of an organized religion and listen to someone tell them how bad they are, so they should give money to atone.
It’s the organized religious groups that have turned people away from attending their meetings, in many cases, but that doesn’t mean that people are less religious. jmo
Government is god. Obama is the savior. And global warming is the doctrine.
Churches have sold out to government control. By accepting tax exempt status they must conform to rules that make them empty suits. Many churches support gay marrage, abortion.
We know of cases where people have stopped going to church where their church has become anti-America and supports illegal aliens and wants more Somali immigrants.
The church left me when it went to a Youth floor mat, and the preacher went PC. Preaching just Love, Peace and GIVE till it hurts for our Youth programs. Leaving seniors out. Then he said NOT to get up to go to the Bathroom during service...STUPID move. What are you supposed to do, soil yourself if your body says it must go? What about all those diaper aged kids needing changing to boot crying and disrupting service when they are uncomfortable because they need a diaper change.
Amen Fortunately there is a core of young people who have not turned their backs on the Lord I am fortunate my middle son is currently attending seminary with a great bunch of on fire for the Lord amazing young men
BINGO!
Who wants to go to church wearing hearing aids when the band is banging out to loud Praise Choruses in place of Hymns? And the PC service makes you fall asleep in the pew which is NOT senior friendly. To long winded Peace, Love and GIVE to the youth, no Salvation, no End Times. Completely ignore Revelations as it makes some uncomfortable. No Come to Jesus message.
Churches proved to be money machines and not religious places. God can be found without having to fuss with money.
Church is declining, not religion.
Leaving churches is not leaving God.
One doe$ not have to attend $ervice$ of an organized religion and li$ten to $omeone tell them how bad they are, $o they $hould give money to atone.
Thank you! Organized Religion: Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee
Being 50+ and seeing people through the lens of time, I can say only Grace and UNCONDITIONAL love are worthwhile.
People really do know when they are doing wrong. You reminding them does not help. I know this goes against common sense. But all things born of God don’t make sense to the natural man.
Read Romans 1 SLOWLY. linger of 1:20 through about 1:40. The problem is not that people don’t have enough light (what is good/bad) the problem is people love the darkness. God himself testifies to individuals what they are doing is right (or wrong).
Heading to Panama to see if Central Americans still believe in God and freedom. If they are more receptive than most church going unbelievers in America, then we are staying!
This is a really good point. The One World Religion that facilitates the NWO is on the way.
