In this candid pastoral conversation, Pastor Mike responds to an honest question: Would he take his family to a church like the one he was raised in—one that preached a gentler, less rigorous message? Pastor Mike explains that while the church of his childhood once faithfully taught the Bible, it later drifted into theological softness. He offers practical, realistic counsel for believers who don’t have many strong churches nearby: choose the best church within reasonable driving distance and be a godly influence there.
He emphasizes that real church commitment requires more than attendance—it means attending consistently, connecting relationally, serving faithfully, and giving financially. Pastor Mike encourages believers not to keep “testing churches” indefinitely, but to fully invest and trust God to use them as a catalyst for growth and renewal within a local congregation.

The world is wearing out Christians. More and more are saying that spiritual matters rarely come up in their conversations with other believers. Our culture hasn't silenced us, we have talked ourselves into silence. Where Christians should be having an impact, they are stepping aside instead of stepping up.
If you want to break your silence and shine a light into this culture, be sure to request the book Making a Difference by R.C. Sproul.
