Do you agree that the local church is no longer considered the only outlet for spiritual growth. ?

"Faith is relevant for many people, but church is not," says Bryan Wilkerson, senior pastor of Grace Chapel in Lexington, Massachusetts. "People want to attend to the spiritual side of their lives, they are interested in God, but their experience of church has not been relevant. They say, 'Why do I have to sit through boring sermons and old music that don't speak to my real needs and problems?'"
"A growing element of the Christian population is disappointed with or frustrated by the local church," says D. Michael Lindsay, assistant professor of sociology at Rice University and former consultant with the Gallup Institute. In part, this trend can be attributed to factors within local church bodies themselves, such as lack of strong leadership or teaching.

Many churches today use these institutions for a place of business and connections.

That is true, and it is a wake up call for all concerned or they may yet to know the consequences of this.

A eto nde ko rin kayang itanggi ito even the bible exposes human flaws- one time nga bago pa mag umpisa yung women's fellowship dine- nagkakagulo dun sa mga ibinebentang sapatos nung isang bayani natin- arayku-
sa halip na prepare ang sarili for the fellowship and getting the group into praises and songs e ang pinag uusapan maganda daw yung style ng isang shoes.. haaay
eto pa women's na naman- cge daw sa hotel ang fellowship at nandun nadatnan namin exclusive yung isang room wow! long table- dining pala at lunch- aruuh! naglabasan ng mga gifts for a farewell party pala dahil yung drummer namin e uuwi na sa England-- labasan ng gifts-- wala akong regalo malay ko ba- hindi naman ganun sa church namin nun sa Quezon City
tapos eto pa-- ok guys- ha?? labasan ng tig 100 dollars what? buti na lang meron akong,100 nun, babayaran mo pala yung ekek
Sa Pinas hindi kami ganyan-
Note-- these are human flaws na hindi ginusto ng Lord pero totoo before its too late- we have to do something, cleaning our backyards, marami pa ring church na seryoso lalo yung maliliit sa countryside.

Do you agree that the local church is no longer considered the only outlet for spiritual growth. ? Ang mga church ngayon gusto nila paramihan ng myembro. May namamaril sa pulpit, patay ang Pastor at hindi na napapansin kung ang mga myembro ay may mental case o hinde.
