I once heard Leonard Ravenhill answer a question like this quite succinctly:
'If you want to know how popular a church is, go on Sunday morning.
If you want to know how popular the pastor is, go Sunday night.
And if you want to see how popular God is, go to the prayer meeting'

I might add to that: go to a Bible Study, if you can find one today.
