The Movie "Passion of the Christ" focused on total forgiveness and unconditional love. And there are many people out there with wounded hearts as well as those that desire greater faith that are being drawn back to Church. Who are reminded by the Passion of the Christ of how Jesus suffered for us because he first loved us.

"Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you because you belong to Christ. Ephesians 4:32.

And many of the younger generation feel more accepted by the unique way that they express themselves by the clothes that they wear or even their hair.  

"Don't make your children angry by the way you treat them, rather bring them up with the disipline and instruction approved by the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 Read: Love your teenager

Many people are coming back in record numbers because our faith based Churches are making the experience more desirable by continual to provide higher value added services to their members.

I believe that there are thousands of Church's out there today that are truly pleasing to God by the way that they worship him in a place of holiness with peace in their hearts with all others.

And I also believe that a Church starting out with a membership of one can be just as blessed in carrying out God's Divine Will as the Mega size Church's of today.

Group size and large numbers alone does not matter to God. He's proven that with David and Goliath as well as many other times in Biblical history including the book of Numbers. God is more concerned about the size of our spiritual heart that is in alignment with God's truth and being obedient in worshipping His way.

A nd all of us have to understand that to be continually blessed by God that we are not to judge other believers that are doing God's work. As enlightened believers of God's spiritual truth we need to acknowledge and be concerned about that all this judging and condemning of other believers has affected the growth of Church memberships. I believe that there are literally millions of  believers and non believers that are coming back to hear the story of God's love and sacrifice. I believe that memberships are increasing because we are being more responsible in showing others on how to be more productive in their spiritual growth as well as in both their physical and spiritual responsibilities.  Read the Bible in a year

We cannot lose our spiritual focus that Church is not a place of private entertainment where we qualify and see if other people fit our private club mentality. The world is tired of people acting religious and not doing from their heart what they say Jesus would do. We have to understand that it's not about us; we are merely vessels that are humble servants of God in glorifying him in everything we say and do. We are not the source of your blessings  I praise God that most people are basically good and so are most Churches. God said to go out into the world and preach his gospel and not to leave anybody out.  "

And he said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15

Remember, having Church is not the Church building that you go too, having Church is any place you go to share the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ! May you have Church several times each day by glorifying God by doing it His way!

90% of all Churches in America have between 100-200 active weekly members. I believe that God will continual to bless many of these Church’s with increased memberships. And  we are starting to see that today, I believe that this is just the beginning in these new mega size Churches of memberships approaching past 30,000 in weekly attendance. God will not tempt us but he will test us to see what we will do if we are given a position of power in leading his flock. Will we use it only to judge and condemn or will we do what Jesus would do. It's all about reaching the world with God's divine truth of his Grace and Redemption. Of how everyone deserves a second chance because of his love, grace, and forgiveness that he gave each one of us. I believe that our memberships will continual to increase if we stay focused on the same spiritual truth that changed our own lives forever, The message of love that changes every heart and saves every Soul? 

"So warmly welcome each other into the church, just as Christ has warmly welcomed you; then God will be glorified." Romans 15:7
