Pastor Johannes Block can consider himself Martin Luther's successor. He's the vicar of Stadtkirche St. Marien zu Wittenberg, Luther's own church. The church is the St. Peter's Basilica of Protestantism.

Here, Luther preached his incendiary sermons against Vatican corruption that led to the Reformation and the rise of the Protestant movement. It is where Protestant pastors were first ordained.

They got tired of all the killings in war that the churches blessed. Europe has been the site of centuries of people killing each other in the name of God. Finally figured that God was not one they wished to worship. Europe is mainly secular now.

Churches which come to lack of people usually are lack of the Jesus Holy Spirit because of the self determination and disobedient to the calling of Christ and His commands , and many just do not teach the gospel of Jesus Christ and do not make sure people get saved through Jesus spirit ....... See there is no power of Christ to redeem people and save people if leaders do not believe themselves and are the caretakers of the dry churches on their watch .........The churches to day are refined to Jesus
