As Sharon and I travel, we hear from many who do not go to Church. One of the top reason is politics. Yes! Politics kills Churches, I see it here in New Mexico and wherever we travel. We just completed a 12 day visit in Alaska. We had so many discussion about the state of the Church in America. You can identify the beliefs of many Churches now by their political beleifs, rather than in Jesus. I have witnessed this over the last 20 years. The Lord has shown me very clearly what causes the down fall of Churches. We side with no politics! Our hearts and souls are full of JESUS!
Many Churches are chasing away people from Jesus. Many Pastors fail to carry out The Great Commission. What is the result: Chaos in America.
Gallup found that just 30% of Americans go nearly weekly, down 12 percentage points over the last couple of decades. Gallup, pulling aggregated data from numerous surveys it has conducted, found a steady decline it says is largely driven by an increase in the share of Americans with no religious affiliation.

Let us remember where the only true peace comes from……The World is in such turmoil and many have the wrong answer to true peace.
From AI
Billy Graham believed that world peace could only be achieved through a spiritual dynamic at its core, and that the world cannot be reborn until people are born again and at peace with God. He believed that the greatest warfare in the world was between mankind and God, and that peace was possible only when people surrendered to Jesus Christ.
Here are some of Billy Graham’s thoughts on world peace:
- The world doesn’t give peace: The world fights for peace, but it doesn’t have any peace to give.
- Peace comes from Jesus Christ: Jesus gives peace to those who put their trust in Him.
- Peace with God: To have peace with God, one must repent of sin against Him and walk a new direction.
- The basic cause of war: The basic cause of war is the inherent sinfulness of human nature.
- The nature of man: World peace will only come when the nature of man has been transformed.
- The Lausanne Congress: Graham believed that the outcome of the 1974 Lausanne Congress may have been his most enduring legacy.
