Remember the Zoltar Machine? America was first introduced to the creepy and powerful machine in the 1988 movie Big. Young and puny Tom Hanks ended up in front of the Zoltar Machine after another day of feeling insignificant and small. The wish was a no-brainer. The coins were inserted into the machine, and a wish was granted. “I wish I were big.”

I do not believe there is a church Zoltar Machine. However, I do think many churches wish to be big. Wouldn’t that solve our problems? After all, most reports on churches in North America report a decline in attendance (https://churchanswers.com/blog/it-is-time-to-stop-celebrating-church-transfer-growth-a-church-answers-research-article/)
