Why do Baptist Churches seem so dead

Permanent Linkby TheBibleSender on July 28th, 2007, 12:56 pm

I have been talking with several people involved in bible ministry. They all seem to say the same things The Baptist Church is dead. Why do we not get excited about getting the word of God to people in need. About 6 months ago I contacted around 100 churches in Minnesota. All I asked was that the church would be willing to collect used bibles from their members. Guess how many postive repsonses I have gotten 1 or 2. One church said they already did something similiar(PTL) The other sounded interested but I have not heard back and this has been atleast 6 months. Do we really believe Romans 10:17? If so why do we not try harder to get God's word out? God bless. :)

RE: Why do Baptist Churches seem so dead

In one sense they are dead, but the first question is what are you going to do about it?
Are you interested enough to ask good questions about why, are there some glowing
embers I can fan, what part of the church is dead, is it mostly men, or women, or youth?

Bibles are not a commodity. They are alive. While you are waiting for donors how about
digging farther into the diamonds they hold... In this technology age start locating some
of the many computing PRINCIPLES found in God's precious scripture.

It might help to show some of your 'success' deliveries that would inspire others. 'course
you've probably done that in your website.

Myself, I'm ready to do the Martin Luther thing with the nail and the accusations against
the church. The churches today use technology for administration and presentation tasks
but seem completely ignorant to the requirements of technology on the people's lives
and therefore God's provisions in scripture.

Maybe a good start would be to begin a quest to teach churches and their leaders what
the word "all" means. Two examples: 2nd TIm 3:16,17. ALL scripture... even the Old
Testament... and ALL good works. That includes computing also, right?

If you are concerned past whining check out my 30 years of unique ABSOLUTELY FREE
resources at godscomputermanual.com.

Paul had church troubles all over, but he'd say, "Jesus is coming soon! GIT 'ER DONE!!"
