Statistics show that 80-90% of evangelical churches in North America are plateaued or declining. A similar number of Southern Baptist churches are, too. This is staggering.
We need to humble ourselves, confess known sin, and study God’s Word and God’s world (like the Bereans and the men of Issachar). In addition, we should pray and ask the Lord to make our churches healthier and more effective doing God’s work.
