It has been said God created man in His own image, and we have been returning the favor ever since.
We have to remember to break out of the American mindset that bigger is better, that bigger proved we are doing something right.
We are commanded to preach the word, in season and out. If it is out of season our churches will diminish in size, in season churches will grow.
John 6:66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to the Twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”Jesus preached hard topics, church shrinkage sermons if you will, why are we afraid to do the same?

Good question. Hopefully more ministers and priests will not fear preaching on the difficult subjects — especially those dealing with eternal life vs. living in the m modern world.
