Many people have rejected the church because of those who claim to be followers of Christ. It is painful but true, “The world isn’t interested in Christianity because we Christians aren’t known as people who live what we say.” Until we move beyond superficial faith, we will not experience supernatural living.

Very interesting. I think a part of the reason can also be seen in that we are answering questions the world isn’t asking. While doctrine is as important as it ever was, the world seems to have changed to a more “relational” base. They are asking relational questions and we don’t seem to connect as well as we once did. That’s just my opinion.
