What is missing in today's modern church? Why aren't people of my generation coming; fewer and fewer millennials are going to church and it's not becuase they aren't spiritual.
We, as a collective generation, believe in some higher power (generally). We know there are things that can't be explained and we like the mystery. The modern age, especially the age of reason, gave us science and logic which have tired to explain eveything. The thing is not everything is explainable. You would think the church would understand that more than most, but our preachers either attept to explain them or never approach the subject.
Also, what happened to the beauty associated with Christianity. Baroque arcitecture evokes feelings of spirituality and reminds us of the divine. Yet, most of our churches look like office buildings. Don't send me to a sterile, lifeless building to encounter a mystical God. We forget how important our other senses are; yes we are thinking things, but we are also feeling, hearing, seeing things (Thank you Descartes).
I think you get my Point. Now go encounter a God who is mysterious and alive.
