You know my home pastor has 3 churches to minister in? I think the original idea of having a pastor whose entire job is to maintain and lead a church was put in place to stimulate community and family growth. Every family needs a leader. Every organization needs a president; someone to give the final verdict. Someone to unite when times are tough and to give encouragement.
Less pastors on the scene only reflects the dedication of the church body. Where are we? Why aren't we gathering? Whenever I walk into a church I see kids, some teenagers and old people. Where are the twenty-somethings? Where are the late teens? Where are the early thirty-something members?
To me all I see is one solid and saddening truth. The churches are dying.
I love religion. I used to love church... Today is the Sabbath and instead of going to church I rode my bike to the woods and soaked my feet in a stream. God was there, in the breeze till the mosquitoes started biting and chased me away. But what is it?
What are we running from?
