I think you must be a very concerned doctor, as I am as an observer of what we do in modern medicine in the US. While advances are unbelievably significant, we have so much out-of-balance, too. I would likely seek you as my personal physician if you lived in this area or I lived near you. Thanks again. Please do stay in touch. Thank you for reading my blogs and for commenting.

I'm a doctor and over the last 5 years or so have observed that I think we are obese because we are self-treating our pain. Same idea, different words. And it cycles. All the practice of medicine really does is put highly complex band aids on people's hurts. Under the current system that generates revenue by seeing more people and by managing more problems, there is no work done to really help someone heal, truly heal. That kind of work takes time which the system does not allow. So we focus on the superficial like caloric intake and expenditure instead of why we are eating too many calories of the most unhealthy foods. Thanks for the affirmation in your post.

Therefore, yes, the Church is in decline... which is exactly what God prophesied in his Word, The Bible. There will be Tribulation and AntiChrist will rule this World.... are you be ready? Narrow path. Few will enter. -- Jesus. If you want to grow the Church, then we need to toss Religion, and present Jesus' WORD. You will find that those Churches that are adding members, are plain, simple, Bible based teachings. After all, we know what the World has to offer, and we have grown weary of that. However, even more will reject Truth [as is evidenced in our depraved society] Sad, but given Free Will, most reject God's Son. As they don't want to give up their selfish desires. Many will bow their knee on Judgment Day, but not all. ‘The Church’ is the body of Believers. Therefore, yes, the Church is in decline… which is exactly what God prophesied in his Word, The Bible.

One must surely be this: they break free of the cages we’ve stuffed them in for years–cages that have suggested to them that their questions are compromise just as their doubts are disbelief. What many parents and religious people do not know is that your questions and doubts are to the birth and growth of your faith what keys are to an imprisoned person who wishes instead to be free." I'd say you're onto something here. After doing youth work for 24 years, many in youth ministry settings I can agree with this. A young person's mind is naturally curious and knowledge seeking, from birth. To try and stymie that innate instinct within them borders on being immoral. Good point, Doctor McSwain “Why do so many youth leave the church soon after graduating high school?”
