organized masturbation (going to church) was naturally going to die off. nothing that happens in a church is instructed by the bible. in fact, there are a few different stories that tell us to go out into the world together instead of congregate together masturbatorily. it's genuinely a good thing that church attendance is falling. they became more about keeping the attendees comfortable & socialized than anything else. > praise it isn't just singing the same songs over and over. in fact, that's such a bastardized take on what praise is supposed to be. > food, coffee, different groups/classes/bible studies all tools to keep people coming back. they serve purpose to what christians are commanded to do. you can fellowship while serving others together. > prayer "blessed are those who pray in secret." nothing else needs to be said. > sermons they can be good, but in the digital age you have an infinite amount of them to listen to & don't need to hear the same 1-2 years worth on repeat. churches should be for those first learning about christianity. it should be a place where they can study together & learn what the bible says & commands. anyone who is already saved has no business being in a church. it's such an enormous waste of time.
