hope you have a great day! thanks for stopping by!!
One reason the church is so superficial and shallow today is because our pulpits and our preachers are shallow in the Scripture. We need deep expositional preaching rooted in a deep understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The great commission is to “go and make disciples” not consumers.

I totally agree with the quote concerning why the church is so shallow. My husband is a pastor of a small church. He firmly believes in the verse by verse chapter by chapter theory of preaching. Unfortunately, our church will remain small because we aren’t heavy on programs and feel good messages, simply the word of God.
The church I grew up in was pretty much the same…small country church. We had a falling out when the new pastor came and wanted to bring new theologies/the world in…in the end, pushing the “old timers” out. The church collapsed, he left, and the church I grew up in is now a community church.
Our church started as a ministry to local bikers. We were offered a deal on an old bar in what used to be our cities skid row. It took two years for us to do the renovations to convert it into a church. We’ve been doing this ministry for about thirty years. many of the people have died since we started. Many of them we’ll see in heave, but sadlysome of them made a different choice.
