For clarity, I am speaking in this post of biblically-based,
gospel-founded Christianity, not cultural Christianity or Christendom.
A friend mentioned the other day that there were 4 billion “Christians”
on earth. Not sure where that statistic comes from, but does any of us
really believe that there are 4 billion “born-again” Christians – those
who have repented of their sins and trusted Jesus Christ alone (and
consciously) for their salvation.
I grew up in a Christianized, Christian-centric,
Christian-sympathetic world. I have heard arguments on both sides, but I
do not believe that the US was ever a “Christian Nation” It was one
that saw itself as responsible to God and was Christian enough that
people could make the argument that we were a Christian nation, though.
Such is no longer true.
We who believe the Bible to be the perfect word of God are entering a
new era in this nation. Gone (or rapidly going) are the days in which
our nation shared, in the main, our values. In my college years, a
controversial organization formed called the Moral Majority. It was
based on the premise that there was in America a majority of people who
shared our values.
Such is no longer true. Continue at Dave Miller
