These type of efforts leads to even more decline because some of those in the church wanting renewal eventually see the big picture and do not want anything to do with the church anymore and leave because of this negativity towards change and renewal. In a church becoming renewed, there will be negative people because they will look at the new effort as giving up something which they hold dear. Stagnation is the thing they love. Yet such people cannot be allowed to come into this group or you are sunk.
There will be negative people who want to maintain thhe status quo ******
