Seems like what I have experienced over the past 10 years or so is that there are two directions the majority of Baptist churches are heading. Like some have said in here, many churches are comprised of elderly folks that are ardent about KJV only preaching and teaching or singing only from a historic hymnal with no canned music. Then the other extreme is the seeker sensitive approach that weakens the gospel until it's not even the gospel anymore. I've known many good preachers that are very burdened by the lack of love for God from the church. Many in churches today look at the church as their own little social club and they forget why the church is there for. I've seen wonderful sermons preached that should invigorate the crustiest old baptist, but instead the old ones are more concerned about making the buffet line at noon and the seekers are upset because the preacher called them a sinner. No wonder we see many vacancies in the pulpit, maybe God is getting ready to do something BIG?

Isn't that much the same thing Jesus dealt with in his day on earth. So what else is new under the sun?

We must let the dead bury the dead and lead the alive. Leading the alive instead of trying to revive the dead is far more fruitful.

The issues you mentioned are not just among the elderly. They are also among the young as well. Those issues did not start when the people got old.

Why put new wine in old wineskins.

There are elderly who are much more alive than a number of dead youth. I teach at a college and see dead youth all the time.
