Any institution needs resources in order to survive, and churches are not any different

“Between 6,000 and 10,000 churches in the U.S. are dying each year” – and that means that over 100 will die this week. America is littered with thousands upon thousands of church buildings that aren’t being used anymore.
As you will see below, between 6,000 and 10,000 churches are dying in the United States every single year, and that means that more than 100 will die this week alone. And of course thousands of others are on life support................At one time, America was widely considered to be “a Christian nation”, but that really isn’t true anymore. As an excellent article in The Atlantic has noted, even though most Americans still consider themselves to be “Christian”, the numbers are telling us a very different story…........
Today, less than 20 percent of all Americans attend church
on a regular basis.
As a result,
churches are dying in very large numbers, and this is a trend that appears to
be accelerating.......

My Take -
And this should surprise us? These churches have abandoned any pretense of following Bible teachings. They've been corrupted by leftist thinkers who promote the idea the Bible is a nice book with nice lessons but not to be taken too seriously. If that's really true then the next question should be for these churches is - why do we need you then?
They stand for nothing and will tolerate anything, including abortion. Why wouldn't we think they're going down the tubes? Here's what Oliver Chromwell said to the Rump Parliament when he dismissed them, and the thoughts presented to a political entity then fit perfectly with these "religious" entities now.
"It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government. Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.
Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.
Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go!
I think this fits well with Mathew Chapter Seven versus 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, which states:
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?..............."Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name? And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'
