Death inhibitors

Some churches are thriving.

Some churches are doing powerful things to expand the Kingdom of God.

Some churches are taking innovative risks in order to reach new people with the Good News.

Other churches are struggling to the point of death.

The sad thing is that you don't have to look far to find a church which is at the doors of death.

I wonder how many churches/denominations make decisions because they are afraid to die. Or at least die sooner.

How many churches won' take a risk today so they can survive another year?

How many churches seek to maintain what they have because they're aware they haven't attracted anyone new for years?

How many churches are so scared by the stench of death within their walls that they won't step out in faith?

Better yet, who is the person going up to these churches and challenging them to change their mindset?

Just wondering...
