chruch reality?

Every year denominational leaders gather at conventions to compare statistics, hand out awards, and listen to speeches. Over the course of a year, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on programming and weekly services. All of this is done under the banner of "making disciple" or "transforming lives." But the truth is that there is very little to show for a ll the meetings, messages, and mothers' mornings out. The church is making far more dinners than disciples. And while there is a general awreness that things are not going well, the average church attendee is content to show up once a week, do his time, and pretend that all is fine.

If this is true (and I think it is) may God have mercy on all of us.
