Exactly......

As for those leaving the fold....reasons vary for each from those I've spoken with.....many leave because they could not find the fulfillment within they are seeking...so then one might wonder what it is they are seeking and identify that.

Many simply want deeper teaching and the truth often is covered with so much ritual and such it never reaches the heart....they have not known ..”Be still and KNOW that I am God”. The to do list outweighs the relationship aspect of Knowing Christ on a personal basis. So they sense emptiness in the course of time....it's just not enough.

Meanwhile the enemy of men's souls stands on the side ‘waiting for whomever he may devour’......and is quick to pounce for those unfamiliar with his devices. Many do not have the word of God in their hearts to withstand the deceptions...and fall easily into cults, false religions, and various other organizations affording them “belonging”.

Oh the reasons people leave their church are many and varied for all denominations.....but those who are in Christ eventually come home to the faith which is only in Christ Jesus.... IF they are truly seeking Him FIRST and desire the Truth....again only found in Him.

Anyone is Christ belongs to Jesus and has eternal life, not dependent on works or baptism or church membership or affiliation or any such thing.

I could never darken the door of a church again for the rest of my life and I’d still be a redeemed child God, secure in Him for eternity.

My faith is in Him and Him alone.
