Today's Christian Culture

The average church in America is not growing and most are declining in attendance and membership. Thousands of churches will close their doors this year. Most Christians do not even realize that 'Christianity' is now a counterculture. There is a culture crisis and the real cultural crisis is that today's Christian culture according to some is destroying 'Christianity.'

By today's Christian culture we mean the vast network of people in churches, ministi\ries, businesses, bookstores, magazines, musicians, TV & radio programs and the like who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ today.

While individual differences ceretainly exist among them, a consistant pattern is easily detected: the culture it represents is indistinguishable from the world it seeks 'to save.' It is worldly at its very core.

Today's Christian culture so resembles the world, that standing against the world, in opposition to its culture would amount to standing against itself. What is most tragic is that it has borne a multitude of misled, deluded 'disciples' who are scripturally illterate.
