While there are churches which are alive and productive, the other side of the coin reveals a deep, settled sleep in many congregations, even the most fundamental.
Pastors weep over the lack of response within their congregations.
Pleas for help and involvement in the necessary work of propagating the Gospel fall on deaf ears. The surrounding world with its restless confusion moves too few Christians to reach out with answers to this spiritual emptiness. A snug complacency has settled in. My immediate reaction to that message was one of amusement until I suddenly sobered to the shocking reality of what apathy creates in attitude. Transferring that comparison into church life is more sobering yet.
