So, Now What?
Series:
church, why bother?Date:
February 24, 2008The past few weeks we’ve discussed what Jesus’ intentions for His Church were, looked at what the Bible says, and probed into all the reasons people don’t bother with church.
So… now what?
What are the implications for us personally? What difference does it make if people don’t see the same value in church as you do? What about the Journey as a whole? How does what we heard these past few weeks make a difference?

This looks like a great conference with an amazing line up of speakers. I really wish I could go. I hope others can.
my personal plan...
Survey: U.S. religious landscape in flux
I read this article online at MSNBC.
Survey: U.S. religious landscape in flux
Poll finds Protestant churches in decline, unaffiliated ranks growing
The link is

The article reports on a survey about American’s religious affiliations.
I thought some of the facts were pretty interesting and might be significant to what we have been discussing the last couple of weeks.
So, Now What?
What are you going to do to personally live out what you learned?
What are we going to do as a community?
Weigh in on either question…

An answer to "Church, Why Bother?"
Dr. Kent Leinberger: _Why Go To Church?_

If you’re spiritually alive, you’re going to love this! If you’re spiritually dead, you won’t want to read it. If you’re spiritually curious, there is still hope! *
Why Go To Church?*

‘I’ve been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals But I do know this.. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!’ When you are DOWN to nothing… God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment! *
All right, now that you’re done reading, if you’re of a mind, send it on! I think everyone should read this! ‘When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, ‘Jesus, could you get that for me?*
