There would be many reasons why people stop going to church. We all might have our suggestions as to why this is occurring. I have my own ideas. Let me list a few such possibilities here: -Many believers are growing tired of the celebrity culture in our churches. -Many believers are fed up with the incessant entertainment and worldly amusements found in the churches. -Many believers are not being fed from the Word of God. -Many believers are put off by the attempt to cater solely to youth, while ignoring their needs. -Many believers are tired of just being bench warmers, with no role to play. -Many believers are weary of the constant need to be “relevant” at the expense of biblical orthodoxy. -Many believers are looking for the real deal. They want an encounter with almighty God, not just a razzmatazz stage production. -Many believers are desiring genuine Holy Spirit revival, not just pep talks, self-help seminars, and a me-centred gospel. -Many believers are starving for the reality of First Century Christianity. Many more reasons could be mentioned. And this is just my take on things. Having spoken at so many churches and home groups and small fellowships over the years, I can get a bit of an understanding of some of these trends. And many of these believers who have left the church have not forsaken Christian fellowship though. Thanks Bill Muehlenberg and Jonathan David Sarfati for this list.
