Church cultures settle into ruts for all kinds of reasons. But once in them they can be exceptionally difficult to shift out again. Particularly where people have joined for reasons other than being a biblical church, trying to draw them back to that picture often feels like inviting them to embrace a completely different understanding of themselves, their purpose in life, their future. It invites them to go from the comfortable and familiar to the unknown. From walking by sight to walking by faith. If the majority of people don't have a lot in their hand spiritually speaking you can expect them to resist like crazy.
