IMHO, the denominational churches has been getting away from The Word and are so set in tradition over everything else and are losing people and the non-denominational churches like the Calvary Chapel’s are flourishing since they are into The Word and are not traditional like the Pews, music, the Sunday dress clothes. In other words, the kind of church that is not your “father’s church” are attracting people.

I disagree. I think they’re moving away from The Word because they are discarding traditional worship. I know of some churches that no longer sing traditional hymns. Just have a bunch of juvenile twenty-somethings up front bangin’ on drums and strumming electric guitars like a garage band. And they’re bringing their liberal theology with em’.....

Sure, but not for the right reasons. And not because they are "into The Word" -- your phrase, not mine.

that is the problem if one gets used to the idea of chopping and changing one’s church at whim
