*****What have we done to get more people back in the church?
Start tinkering with basic church teachings as if we were trying to tailor a marketing campaign for a consumer product. This has been an EPIC FAIL!*****
Good point, that needs more emphasis.
There has been a concerted effort by those who hate God to infiltrate churches for the purpose of destroying from within. This has worked because the church never protected its own by not allowing those subversive elements in.
Judas got 30 pieces of silver for his betrayal, I wonder what the going rate is now? Maybe a little double dipping going on? By people who were marginal at best if not part of the subversion?
My point is that if you are wondering where the will is, the salt has lost its savor, probably because we did not employ the whip nearly often enough as the example of Christ showed when he whipped the traders at the temple.
