What's Wrong with the Church?

Church has changed over the years. Ever since the early church movement, the church has been changing, growing, and adapting to new life styles. Somewhere along the line, something went wrong. What is the church doing so wrong today? This is the question I was burdened with today.

What's Wrong with the Church?

1. Lack of Trust: God calls us to action. Today's Christian lacks the trust to step out of their comfort zone and act on that call.

2. Lack of Passion: What happened to the passion, boldness, and zeal that the early church had in the book of Acts? Did we lose it somewhere along the way? Are we missing something?

3. Tradition/Ritual: Tradition and church ritual have choked out the truth.

4. Acceptance of Culture: We're growing more and more adapt to the society of sin. Tolerance has turned into acceptance.

5. Lost Love for God's Word: We are growing a generation that's prone to be Bible-illiterate. Christians have lost sight of our God-breathed privilege.

6. Lost Love for Christ: Jesus loves you, now it's time we start loving him back.

The worst part about these problems is that the list could go on. There is no question that today's church in general has "gone to hell." The good news to this story is that there is still hope. We'll find out what we can do to turn things around in our next post: What Now?
