A live church uses tradition and buildings to serve God and people
A dying church uses people to serve the tradition and buildings
A live church worships
A dying church worries
A live church is filled with tithers
A dying church is filled with tippers
A live church forgives and seeks forgiveness
A dying church never makes mistakes
A live church looks for challenges and opportunities
A dying church looks out for problems and dangers
