CHURCHLESS CHRISTIANS.

Being a Christian for fifty-two years, I've seen how things have changed in the Church today. Churchless Christians are on the rise. At the present time, there are record number of churches who have see the drop in attendance. Many pastors can attest to this whether large or small churches and we hear some reasons as to why this is happening. One of which is blaming it on Covid and having to attend the live streaming church. Hence, habits have formed that have created lukewarmness in many individuals. Yes, put the blame on Covid but evidently many didn't have enough spiritual discipline to begin with anyway or heart dedication to return to the church when they reopened. Stands to reason, one either loves Jesus intimately or not and wants to obey His Word in Heb.10:25..."Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves TOGETHER......"in God's house.  

On another note, Christ is the head and we are the Body, with hands and feet all corresponding and yielding to the Head.  Scriptures say we are one body with many members, 1 Cor.12:12-27. He knew what He was doing when He created this spiritual structure. He wanted us to be "family"...His family. But many are preferring to worship by themselves and in their own way. Sundays are not holy anymore for them; nor is worship or even His Word. We are witnessing satan's deception at work before our very eyes.  It's a contagious disease so watch and pray.

  Stay alert.
