Lets Talk Church

My reason behind choosing this subject had to do with me attending church services today. The topic of discussion today was a vision and focus for this year. I have been a member of my church for about 7 months and in that time frame we have had a little growth in our church membership. We do not have a large membership but the church minister has chose a goal of bringing in more members and leading them to a life of understanding the Christian way. Now this is how I see it, that has been a goal of many churches for many years. Ministers have preach for years that God word never changes, which may be true, but people do. It is my belief that individuals in these times are more concern with world pleasures, and see the church as a place that only tell them how things will be better once they die and only if they follow a strict set of rules until then. I personally believe that if membership of small churches are to grow, ministers will need to get people to understand that God intentions for us as Christians ,is to live successful and abundant lives while we are here on earth and also that the church purpose is to teach them that by following the teachings of Jesus that is what they can expect to do. No God word don’t change, but ministers got to, if they are to succeed in following through on Jesus instructions.
