Groundbreaking research based on a national database of over 200,000 churches shows that the overall United States population is growing faster than the church.

In Drane's view the McDonaldization process refers to a predictable theology, predictable church service, with slick simplistic formula for evangelism and apologetics.

Arrested Spiritual Development

When we find Christians who have been baptized for decades behaving as though they were "baby Christians" we are probably looking at cases of arrested spiritual development. If we find ourselves fighting the same old problems we fought when we were first converted, we may be suffering from it ourselves. Here are some ways of testing for arrested spiritual development:

    THE OLD NATURE IN THE BELIEVER

    FACING UP TO FACTS
    by Cornelius R. Stam
    Paul's Epistle to the Romans, Chapters One and Two, present a dark picture of the human race, but acknowledge the facts they record and you have taken the first step to salvation. By nature we shrink from facing up to our sins, but we are better off if we do.
