So, we may know why churches are declining, but what can we do about it?
Some things we can do to counter this trend involve whole church communities deciding to implement new initiatives, being open to change, and focusing on the Gospel above human traditions, but we can also have an impact countering church decline on a personal level.
In a previous Crosswalk.com article titled “How Important is Church Attendance in the Christian Life?” I wrote about how we often need to renew our perspective on church and church attendance. We need to remind ourselves that it’s a privilege to be a part of God’s family, instead of a chore.
“One important aspect of church attendance, then, is for us to interact with other believers and see how God is working in their lives, but still another is to realize that we need church ourselves as Christians and members of the body of Christ.”
