How Come Churches Neglect To Market

Getting your church noticed is easy with all the ways you can market it. Since that is the case your church should not have a problem with growth. Many Christians have the problem of thinking their pastor is the one who is in charge of growth and not them. It just isn't the case though since Jesus commanded all Christians to preach the Gospel. By the way, the word preach means to proclaim and that is another way of advertising. What is keeping your church from growing? Do you think it may be your own way of thinking? It is very true that the Bible does say that in these last days many would fall away from the faith. Many people believe in something but very few actually follow Jesus and are Christians. That is one way we can know we are in the last days. This gives way to the number one reason so called Christians leave it up to their pastor to evangelize. The next reason Christians fail to advertise is a lack of love. I know that is saying a lot since Christianity is all about love but if you are a Christian then consider when the last time you desperately tried to get through to someone to be saved was. All too often we go about our day and not think about it. There are times when we just forget it is happening at all. Maybe we are desensitized from it. Is it too hard to think about? Whatever the case may be it doesn't matter. Real love would run into the burning building and save those who are on fire at the cost of itself. If we are not doing that it shows that our love is very low. So what do we do about this situation? What do we need to do in order to start walking in that kind of love again? If you want to see that type of love then you will have to make it happen for yourself by making a commitment to God. Let me give you a bit of history about myself. I remember telling someone when I first became a Christian that it didn't matter to me if someone went to Hell. I thought that as long as I told them about Jesus then I was in the clear and didn't care much more than that. I just believed things were ok like that. That attitude showed very little love. You have to grow in God to develop the type of love I am talking about. The kind of love that will reach out. You really have to get close to God in order for you to know what kind of love I am talking about. You may be asking what this has to do with advertising a church. If you do not have the love of God in you then you will have no desire to really advertise the church. The church is not a club to gain more and more members into it. Your church is a breathing, living, and saving body. You may have noticed very little has been said about advertising in this article. Loving others is the first step in advertising a church though. There is no form of marketing that will save your church if you do not love people. Start loving people if you want to see the church grow. Market your church to the world only after you grow in love. But until then let your church grow in spirit.
