Are We Closer Than We Think?

It doesn’t take long to find research that shows that Christianity is on the decline since the 1990′s and that the fastest growing religions in the United States are Deism, Sikhism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam.  Christianity (and I suppose we should really define what makes a Christian, but I won’t here) is supposedly the number one religion in America, but the percentages are in slow decline .  Christianity in the world is on the rise though. So what’s the deal?

I believe that America could find itself like England or parts of Europe that once were the headquarters for Christianity, but now find themselves as destinations for missionaries. Often times, prosperity turns people from seeing the need of a god and this has often been the case in these countries too, along with religious/political corruption that other religious people eventually stood up to fight against.

Not trying to sound gloom, but just trying to provoke a stirring in those who call Christ their Savior and God to become fully devoted followers of Him and not allow comfortability and selfishness creep in unaware. Hunger and thirst for that relationship with God as you once did when you first believed.

Deuteronomy 8:17-18 “You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth,”
