Causes of Christian Surrender

Christian influence within the culture of our nation decisively declined over the past 50 or 60 years. Why?

There are a number of reasons. Among them are:

• • Many if not most of the churches of America have submitted to popular culture which generally lacks traditional moral values.

  • Christians have fallen for the 'separation of church and state' deception promoted by progressives and atheists.

  • Seminaries and church leaders have misinterpreted and misapplied scriptural principles.

  • Church leaders have failed to relate Scripture to relevant social, moral, and governmental issues.

  • A growing cancer of excessive tolerance and inadequate discernment in matters of morality and competing world views.

The root question remains: Why have all of these things occurred? I have seen no better explanation than human nature as depicted by some as 'the pride cyle' or the 'complacency' or 'self-satisfaction' cycle. More on that will be described HERE.

In the meantime, here are two great messages from Ravi Zacharias on this topic:
