The spiritually dead church. In my life, as a minister's son, I have seen many spiritually dead churches. There is no love, or working of the spirit. Some churches, have become a haven, for social gatherings, gossip meetings, and condemnation.

Without that filling, we will fail miserably in our spiritual lives and accomplish little to reach other people for Christ.
