A recent Gallup poll showed that church attendance has decreased in the past two decades. A growing number of Christians don’t seem to consider attending church and fellowship with other believers a priority. Gathering with other

Christians is an important part of spiritual maturity. Is division contributing to the movement away from church attendance? Sadly, paganism is steadily rising. People have a void in their hearts, and rather than turning to the Church to find Jesus, they are settling for a hazardous substitute. We who are called by His name must be the salt and light of our society for its transformation according to God’s Kingdom values.

• Ask God to expose any divisive behavior you may have been a part of (gossiping, strife, discord, murmuring) and repent where He leads you.
• Pray for the Church to be united in heart, mind, and purpose in Christ (see John 17:21).
• Pray for the Church to love, serve, and bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 5:13; 6:2).
