2. Illustration: With in the Southern Baptist Denomination there is a tendency of decline in membership and attendance. Some people blame the rise of certain theologies within our denomination. However, it is more likely that many of God’s people are spiritually weak. They are content with being surrounded by lost people and make churches into private clubs where they can hide from the world and exert some power. Churches fail to disciple children or new converts, while also, failing to reach out to a dying world. The American church in many ways is lethargic and weak.

Let the truths proclaimed today draw you close to the Lord. Seek Him for He is sufficient.
