Irrelevant Ramblings

Erwin McManus , lead pastor of Mosaic Church in Los Angeles, California, was interviewed for an article in Christianity Today about why churches are declining in America (the United Methodist Church reported its membership was at its lowest point since 1930).

This is what he had to say:

“My primary assessment would be because American Christians tend to be incredibly self-indulgent so they see the church as a place there for them to meet their needs and to express faith in a way that is meaningful for them.

There is almost no genuine compassion or urgency about serving and reaching people who don’t know Christ.”
