You can live life and party like a rockstar and still be on the church board or in a church ministry. Churches have become centers for so-called "social justice" and have become politically correct. There is not black and white; no naming sin as such. Instead sin is tolerated as merely being human and fallible. There is no hell, no judgement for sin.
Fortunately I believe there will be a day when some churches finally wake up, shake off the dust, get back to the Bible and there will be a final great awakening.

Then why aren't Pentecostal churches bursting at the seams? We believe in the infilling of the Spirit, our churches are alive, lives are changed, etc. etc. We lose people just as quickly as other churches do. Our teenagers are hitting the door just as quickly as the ones at the other churches.
I don't personally think Noah and the Ark is what's keeping them out, either, but something is missing. Something more than just lack of 'power' and 'changed lives'.
(I personally think what is missing is true relationship with Jesus....somehow a lot of people just aren't getting that)
