The Reasons Why We Get Tired with Our Faith

We are Exhausted by Our Beliefs at This Point

On the way home from church one Sunday, my son broke the news that he would no longer be attending Sunday School. It is important to note that he did not consult with me before deciding to discontinue going to Sunday School. He informed me he wasn’t coming back in a very straightforward manner. As his father, I told him there were two things I had to accomplish immediately. First, he would need to regularly attend a place of worship, and second, he would need to actively participate in a Bible study.

However, he insisted. It was clear that he would not be returning to Sunday School. He could take the punishment every week, but he still wouldn’t return on Sundays. It’s important that you get it, son. The word “dramatic” describes him well. Like a political prisoner, he took his sentence with stride. Whenever necessary, he would lay down his life for his cause. He consented to attend an adult Sunday School session after much persuasion on our part that evening.

My son’s teacher, who also happens to be a close friend of mine, really got him. The instructor, who too had spent many a dull youth, was happy to have my kid enrolled in his class. My son’s teacher throughout the subsequent years became a significant role model for him.

Speaking to a congregation of ministers recently, I recalled that same tale. The majority of those surveyed expressed disappointment that turnout still hasn’t reached levels seen before COVID-19. They were all brainstorming programs and sermons that they felt would draw the masses back. When I eventually had their attention, I said, “Something is missing from your interpretation. In other words, nobody has abandoned their religion. Just plain church boredom “.

Nothing was actually broken by the epidemic, but it did reveal the weak spots. Before COVID-19, the healthcare system was already in disarray. Before the epidemic, social support systems were already weakened. COVID-19 just exposed but did not create any of their vulnerabilities.

It’s the same in church. Even before the epidemic, interest was beginning to wane. Once quarantine forced them to stay indoors, they realized there wasn’t much they were missing. Most people, upon reflection on their churchgoing experiences, realized they missed their groups, but not much else. What is that? That information was available to them online. Who gave the sermon? Preachers of the highest caliber may be found on a wide variety of online platforms. Why Should I Attend a Religious Service? It’s because I miss hanging out with my pals.

After reevaluating their priorities in the aftermath of the epidemic, many individuals decided that going to church was no longer worth their time. They just need an internet connection. They can watch it when it’s convenient for them. You could get by well without them.

Jesus pleaded for His people’ very life. It was more vital to spread the good news than to keep on existing. Their jobs included preaching, curing illness, exorcising demons, and, yes, resurrecting the dead. It was a lot of work to complete.

Us? Members of our church are urged to be present. That settles the matter. Visiting your church on a weekly basis is all that is required of you. The average person accomplishes a great deal of amazing things each week. They are involved in the buying and selling of companies. They carry out tasks that are usually designated for those with graduate degrees. They disassemble and fix sophisticated machines. They offer answers to issues with global significance. They embark on a new venture.

The next time they visit, we invite them to take a pew.

They have nothing better to do with their time.

They’re hoping to be “called” to an important mission. Our people are looking for God to do something big in their lives. They are expecting to see evidence of your resurrecting abilities. They yearn to be completely taken aback by God’s activity in their own lives, communities, and the wider world.

Young ones are going hungry. Get the church involved so they can provide food.

Mentors and tutors are needed by youngsters.

Unfortunately, some young kids are doomed just because of where they were born.

Our civilization is on fire, and we’re urging everyone to watch it burn.

They have higher ambitions than this. God has bigger plans for them.

Families picnicked near the site of the First Battle of Bull Run as the Civil War got underway, following their new army into battle. As the Union soldiers fled the field, these onlookers were nearly crushed to death. In the heat of battle, there’s no time for spectator seating.

When there is a battle worth waging, an important purpose that requires their life, maybe then our people may return to the church. When preachers once again exhort their congregations to sacrifice all for a noble cause.

But if all you want them to do is sit there, our congregations would rather stay at home.
