OK. Everything is just fine in the churches as proven by the enthusiasm of the next generation coming along and the growth through evangelism. When I visit a church in the 21st century, I need to keep reminding myself that I am not living in the Book of Acts: the resemblance is uncanny. It just brings a tear to my eye.
Everything is NOT JUST fine in ALL churches.
I would say that in a great many churches, things are doing very well considering the Covid-19 and society around us.
I am old enough to remember the 40's and 50's and everyone went to church on Sunday.
But today the things of this world......football games, the beach, golf, swimming at the lake, TV, computers and on and on and on pull people away from worship.
I am one who believes that this is actually God's method of thinning the herd. because Matthew 7:21-23 says that there will be more in hell than in heaven when we read......
"Not every one that saith unto me, LORD, LORD, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
