Why is it so hard for churches to change?

I know that there are many churches that headed down the road of death. Someone consist primarily of older members, some consist of Christians who refuse to do the things that cause life and health of a congregation. So, why if a congregation is headed that way refuse to do the things that will keep them alive? Why do some refuse to change in order cause the growth spiritual and numerically? Have you experienced or seen this in a congregation that you attended or ministered? Are you experiencing this now? What has your church done or currently doing to keep the congregation from dying, healthy and thrive? Why are so many churches and Christians afraid of Change? Isn't change and growth apart of life? I was recently at a church who desired to reach out to younger families but can sense fear of doing the things that will cause the church to reach those intended. How can churches or those Christians over-come that fear?

Don't Worry? Really?

Jesus said, "Do not worry." So, do you think Jesus ever worried? Jesus wasn't married, didn't have children so worrying about wife and kids wouldn't effect Jesus. Jesus didn't have have debt that we read about in scripture so worries or finances wouldn't effect Jesus. So, what would Jesus worry about? Or did he? Does lack of certain life experiences change or influence one's view on worry? Is it fair to say don't worry to someone when the one saying it doesn't understand or has experienced those life situations which cause worry in others lives?
