Around 200 churches will close this week, maybe more. The pace will accelerate unless our congregations make some dramatic changes.

2. We must cease seeing the church as a place of comfort and stability in the midst of rapid change. Certainly, God’s truth is unchanging. So we do find comfort and stability in that reality.
