It’s an interesting point brought up in this post, and I often wonder how many of those who accept Christ at those retreats and youth gathering actually “stick”? I have a bit of skepticism in those situations because of the high emotion those experiences bring to an individual and what actually prompts a decision.

Since I can not know the heart of an individual like God does, I can’t judge a committment. I also know that God will save souls through a church, the Body, one on one relationships, retreats, tragedy, and if the Holy Spirit so moves, even at a Benny Hinn crusade! (I winced when I typed that, but it’s true, the Spirit can do all things!)

God is always at work around us…maybe, if souls aren’t being added to the Kingdom through the church…maybe, just maybe…the Spirit isn’t moving there?

As Christ followers we should be asking why not? Falling to our knees, repenting, and working to get that fixed! WHERE ARE OUR HEARTS?

It just seems that the church-at-large is slacking, so God’s essentially “resorting” to other options. Kind of how he’s largely using pagans to take care of the environment, since his people are such poor stewards of it.
