I pastor a very small Methodist church in central Sweden (Europe) and know the pain of seeing the church diminish in size. I have seen several small rural churches here in Sweden close because of lack of people or lack of pastor. God bless those who fight on and those who must leave.
Very special places in our hearts... "The wisdom in raising up such buildings is that at a given hour, the people should know it is time to meet, and all should gather together, and, harmoniously attuned one to another, engage in prayer; with the result that out of this coming together, unity and affection shall grow and flourish in the human heart. ~ Baha'i Quote.
As ministers abandon the Gospel for pop culture religion, their churches will justly die out. Gospel preachers will have a remnant, small faithful congregations, strong in the Lord.
