Do not be a Sardis. If the glory has departed, close the doors and merge with a church where God is moving.

Thanks for the prayer! Need all I can get.
Regardless of external decay, it might be useful to measure ourselves as to how much we are becoming like Christ. By this standard, it is difficult to see any church as very "successful".
Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
