Thanks. I appreciate the comment.
George Barna has been doing this for several years now. He got my attention about a dozen years back when his research revealed that traditional Christianity as we knew it was in the process of being transformed into something much better, organic, and closer to early Church practices and beliefs. He said then, again, roughly twelve plus years ago, that trend research revealed within 20-25 years more Christians would be meeting in house churches instead of traditional church buildings. We’re halfway there.
Thus, there is lot going on “off the radar” and we must always be aware not to judge what the Lord is doing through what we see or what receives the lion’s share of media and financial attention. It is clear by the research referenced in this post, which is only two months old, that ultra-organized, traditional Christianity is increasingly getting into bad stuff and being heavily influenced by sinister outside influences. The reason for this is always a distance from the Lord Jesus and a resurgence of deceptive opposition against Him through the few in religious control who have embraced alternative and personal agendas.
Blessings to you.
