Yes. While our American culture degenerates, the Church is growing rapidly in South America and Asia. Christianity, dying in Europe for centuries, was replaced by a vibrant church in the USA.
We are now faced with a deteriorating base of faith while God chooses other lands from which to bring forth his Word.
And even yet, America is not an a priori “impossible” territory for more revival. God never asked us to try to improve our act in a worldly way before He’d open His door to us.
However revival if and when it comes will be revolutionary. America is no longer at the point it could be (pardon the term) evolutionary.
Let’s not try to be SO “discerning” that we discern away God’s ability to do the seemingly impossible, and cut our gospel witness off at the knees. Darker world means the gospel is more visible when it does shine. Satan has a losing game here. All he can do is to try to con us into nodding along with him.
I don’t believe that that is true. I believe Christianity is being assaulted on all fronts and now even from within with the new Pope.
Today’s government wants people to worship them and not something they can’t control.
And it’s going to get worse, wait until the U.S starts leading global political efforts for pro abortion, pro gay, pro immigrant. I mean real efforts ... like calls for economic and political sanctions very much like Apartheid South Africa.
How are these ‘emerging nations’ going to emerge if their under the philosophical thumb of the New World Order.
