I am so very sad what is taking place, but I will preach my heart out until I die.
I have written articles on this for the past 20 years plus…the Church in America is in trouble which means America is in trouble, as the Church goes, the Country goes. Less than half of the homes in America have a Bible in them. Chuck Colson said years ago on his radio program on KKIM Christian Radio in ABQ, “The American Church has turned into nothing more than a high school pep rally.” America is in chaos, but I don’t know if people are taking it serious enough. The problem is so may are looking for a political solution when JESUS is the only answer. Just look at the damage that politics is doing to America. So many have made politicians their God. So many hearts in America have become harden. Hearts for JESUS is the only answer. I had a wise Pastor tell me years ago, “The Church is not baptizing enough people, it will catch up with us.”
Very informative post by Mark Silk of Religion News Service:
For taking the temperature of religion in America, Gallup’s regular surveys are always worth a look, because many of the same questions have been asked for over half a century. The latest iteration was released just before Christmas.
It will not surprise you to learn that over the long term the temperature has gone down, but the story is not one of slow and steady decline.
