I follow three different Christian websites. It is apparent that several mainline denominations are breaking apart at the seams. The non-progressive congregations have pulled away and many are joining them every year. On the other side; the last few decades have seen new non-affiliated churches establish themselves throughout the country teaching a watered-down version of Christ’s love for mankind. These churches are growing their congregations and that does not bode well for the nation. One of my nieces is married to a pastor in CA who has quite a growing flock. Last year my niece sent a video of her oldest, 9, who was in a team dance competition in San Fran. She was given the staring roll. I almost cried watching it and my son was appalled. The team ranged from 9 to 17 and included both sexes. I also listen to numerous ministers on the radio who say the Bibles’ teaching requires the faithful to not only stay the course but to guide their family members and friends to the righteous path by supporting justice under God’s laws. They point to our failure to engage as part of the problem.
