When was the last time a person came to the Lord in your church???
I just thought a little reality check on some of the different churches/ministries represented here on AFF would be a good thing to do....
feel free to share your testimonies of God's goodness!!!

2 baptized yesterday, including a man who has been faithfully attending church since early last fall, but wasn't ready to commit. Well, yesterday he finally committed!

My church is growing every day. It is also the only church of it's denomination in this area that is growing. Many of the people we get are people that have been hurt and abused by another church. However, we have the most visitors I've seen in any church I've attended. Just yesterday morning an older couple came to the altar at altar call and it was just so sweet. Our youth group has more than doubled in the year and a half that I've been there. Our church is said by some to be a healing church.

It is a regular occurance at our church.
I think this has a lot to do with the size of the church one attends as well as the Spiritual temperture

I just thought of a second part to this question. How many people that you see giving their lives to God stay? And if they don't stay, why not? Is there substance behind this experience or does one get caught up in the emotional experience and not ever find the substance? OK, that's more than a second part.

God is moving in our church and using it as a hospital for the lost and the hurting. We have these two amazing pastors who care about the people and are sensitive to the things of god. God is using them to lead our church to a great revival in our area. The revival that we are experiencing is a direct result of pastors who are not selfing and overbearing but loving, caring, and giving, It is so easy to see in evey avenue of our church, dt

This question is definetly more difficult.
While many experience God and are born again there are always those who do not have a long term commitment, those who move away, those who are just passing through etc. ...
Just because souls are being born again does not mean there is exploding groweth in numbers.

Yes, this is true. Is it possible that in some cases, we are not really doing our part to help them? Is it possible that we have an explosive worship service and preaching, then have people come to the altar, and then push on their head really hard, they say lalala a few times and we hit the matt, "They've got it!" and then move onto the next person and forget to teach them how to continue developing that relationship with God? Sometimes I think we tell them what to do instead of showing them by our example and showing them how to have a relationship with God. Thoughts anyone?
