People aren’t deciding not to go to church on Sunday any more than they’re deciding not to drink a bowl of ketchup for breakfast. Sure, they could do it, but why would they?
They haven’t rejected the idea of going to church. It simply isn’t on their list of options.
They’re not lazy, they’re apathetic. Until we understand this, we will never have a chance to reach this generation for Christ.

There’s no reason to believe that a healthy small church is making more mistakes than a healthy big church.
Trying to imitate a big church is lame. Yes, lame. There’s a better way forward.
Pastors, we need to hear this. No one who is staying away from the church is waiting for us to put on a better event.
