Empty chairs in a
sanctuary are not always an indictment against a church or its leadership.
Empty chairs can actually send a message to leadership that people are finding
a meaningful church experience outside the walls of a passing model that no
longer meets their deepest needs.  On the
other hand, never allow yourself to think that a full sanctuary is an indicator
that you are in the middle of God’s will. Leadership is not for the faint
hearted. Change is your only constant. Adapt and prosper.
