The Problem with the Gospel in America

Ok, I know I just got your attention with that title, whether you're a liberal or a conservative Christian.

Conservatives are thinking, "Great! Another one of those emergent fellows who questions the Bible."

Liberals are thinking, "Great! Another one of those emergent fellows who questions the Bible."

Well, whichever side you fall on, you're wrong.

This is not going to be some sort of "We need to help others, cause that's the Gospel, and that's what's missing in America today."

No, No, that's not the problem with the Gospel in America. There are plenty of soup kitchens and backpack programs (nothing wrong with those) to go around.

No, I suppose I should have titled this post "Things that are ruining church youngsters."

I could have titled it that, but it's not as provocative, and I have to stay relevant or else no one will read this.

Anyway, I have noticed a couple things that are going to contend majorly against a Biblical worldview and have begun to creep into the church.

I intend to put a few of these down today, or over the next few days, just so that people can get a feel for them and so that they will see the error in these various "worldly wise" philosophies.

I'll try to keep them short enough to maintain the American attention span, although I'm sure I've already lost half of the readers with the length of this one.

So, for the 2 of you who are still reading, you have something to look forward to, I hope.
