"I've been thinking an awful lot about Peter's words in 2 Peter 1:5-8.
' 5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, 6 knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness, 7 godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.'
​
Plenty has been written about the 'dechurching' of America, people who have left the church they grew up in and have not gone back. There's a pretty simple explanation for that: either their faith was 'useless', or they didn't have a personal faith in the first place. Sure, some of that can be blamed on churches teaching a useless version of faith, but not all of it.

Missionary Moment
by Tim Batchelor
Summer is both an exciting and challenging time in church life. It is exciting because most churches plan special events like gospel sings/concerts, Mission Trips, Vacation Bible School, Homecoming, Revival services, and Ice Cream Socials (my favorite). These events give us an opportunity to invite/meet guests and to minister beyond our typical spheres of ministry. Summer also brings a challenge to church life and ministry because of the break in routine of ministry and the sporadic attendance in our gatherings. There is a discouragement that comes with declines in attendance and giving patterns. While patterns of ministry and attendance may change during the summer months, we can still maintain and advance the work of each church during this season...
