Thom S. Rainer: Why Dying Churches Die

1. They refuse to admit they are sick, very sick.
2. They are still waiting on the „magic bullet” pastor.
3. They fail to accept responsibility.
4. They are not willing to change . . . at all.
5. Their „solutions” are all inwardly focused.
6. They desire to return to 1985. Or 1972. Or 1965. Or 1959.
