The End of Christian America
April 8, 2009I just read an excellent article on the Newsweek website by Jon Meacham. It’s long but it is worth your time. You can check it out at http://www.newsweek.com/id/192583/page/1 . There’s not a lot I disagree with in this article. I hope you’ll read it, consider it, and post some comments on my Blog. It should create some good dialogue. Blessings.
Matt,
interesting article. I skimmed a good deal of the article and read others. I too am concerned at the shift that may take place over the next 20-30 years, as greater numbers of our population shift away from the truth.
However, there’s also the possibility that a large percentage of those who drift are the “nominal” part of the church.
In keeping with your blog about “wanting to believe”, often times the strongest pull is accomplished by leading a life that is truly different (in a good way) that those around us.
I also often think back to Francis Schaeffer’s book “Death in the City” and the societal implications of turning one’s back on the truth, on a cultural level.
Enjoyed visiting and enjoy reading your blog.
