Why are church attendance and membership falling, even as churches change to attract a wider audience? Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland discuss the theological shifts they believe have weakened the church's biblical foundations.
In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, they examine declining membership in mainline denominations and consider changes around biblical authority, salvation, the uniqueness of Christ, and human sexuality. They also discuss the expectation that more culturally accommodating churches would bring younger people back, and why that approach has not stopped the decline.
The conversation looks at the call to repentance and a return to the church's first works, the role of tradition in passing faith between generations, and the importance of preaching the gospel with clarity. Alan and Jeff also reflect on their own ministry experience and explain why they feel compelled to speak plainly about the state of the church.
Watch for a Bible-centered discussion about church attendance, theological change, discipleship, and what it means to remain faithful when popular ideas conflict with Scripture.
