Is this losing the Battle or Losing the War??

Barna reports that Americans are abandoning their historic Christian faith.

I guess if you look around it doesn't shock you.

But Why? Is Barna Wrong?

What is going wrong. Or is this a temporary glitch?

Did God go to sleep on us? Is Holy Spirit out on the golf course somewhere? Jesus tied up Fishing somewhere?

Or maybe we need to be more like the world so we appeal to them better. Christian Pot dealers. Christian Strip Clubs. Christian Gambling Casinos. First Pray, then Play. That's what some evangelical churches proclaim. We have to look like them. An UNPECULIAR PEOPLE.

There are currently 400,000 churches in the USA. So, that may not be the problem.

So what's up. You tell me.

Something we are doing isn't working. By the way, I think God knows it. I think He will fix it. It won't be what we think. Cleaning house is seldom clean.

The Holy Spirit prefers working in the streets and the market places. He refuses to hide in a ghetto.
