I've said for a long time that the way to shrink a congregation is to preach the Gospel. Of course, the ones who leave are the ones who weren't there for the right reasons in the first place, and the ones who then come in--the addicted, the downtrodden, the broken-hearted, the ones who have nothing left to lose--are the ones Jesus said would enter heaven before those who are just "playing church." (Matthew 21:28-32)
