✝️ Church Sticky Thread 🕊️
This is turning into the "Church Sticky Thread". I'll sticky it every Sunday.
To whom? The fake church?
Mind you, my experience is different from yours, and regional differences in culture play into this as well, but I've seen a lot of people at church pick on each other for how they look, and what they're going through, gossiping about each other, etc.
I know this aspect of society has had the church lose a lot of followers because "God's followers" are focused on The Devil's bullshit.
Some of these people viewing our comments right this minute are afraid of speaking up about it, because they're afraid that by speaking up about it, they will lose their social network at church.
I'm just saying, waving the finger at people for not going church - when they've already left - is not a way to get them to come back.
See these live streams as a blessing. If there's an attendence problem at your church, you might need to do some work closer to home.
I’m sorry this has been your experience. I have a very welcoming church. They never locked down or enforced masks, and I live in a VERY blue area. My church has been truly a diamond in the rough haha. People come dressed up or in jeans or shorts. No one cares what you are wearing, we just want you to show up. And attendance is fine for us. I just see people get lazy and will miss a few weeks in a row. This can be dangerous to the individual. Also, if I see someone not show up for a few weeks that sparks a red flag for me. I'll reach out to see if everything is ok. Often times, they are not doing well and are fighting spiritual demons (depression, anger ect.) People tend to retreat when they are knocked down (I tend to do that too). This is just one example on how to keep things accountable. I agree, the livestream is great use of technology for the church, but you also have to check it. I am not pointing fingers but speaking the truth to hold us accountable. The pandemic wanted lockdowns and for people to stop congregating together. I can tell you are hurt in this area and I am truly sorry to hear that. I will be praying for you.
