America in Decline

.
America was built upon long standing beliefs that value the sanctity Christian morals entrenched in the religion for centuries.  But all that is about to change forever.


Now it might shock you to hear that the church is counter cultural.  Always has been, and always should be.  That was the way it was designed.  So you might ask, "How can that be?"  So, here is the straight forward answer to that.


You see, culture has always been imperfect, so Jesus created the Church to give His followers a path to enduring peace and eternal life.


Now don't run away so fast now.  The post is not intended to pound my morals in your face.  It is merely intended to explain why I believe the American way (at least as the majority of us know it) is in such rapid decline.  And it should also be noted that my opinions are learned from personal experiences, and together with other article published by a variety of backgrounds and beliefs.


So, now that you understand why the church was created, perhaps you can better understand my take on things. 


The Church was created for, and must shape culture because the culture is imperfect.  The Church should not change with the culture, but stand fast in it's ways.  The traditional Church has greater strength than one that flows with one that flows with the changes in culture.


The Church must also make it clear what it's teachings are by it's words and actions.  And in doing so, the Church should welcome everyone by being open to all, but the Church should the impression that it condones any sin of the congregation in attendance. 


As an example, if someone who enters a Church that believes Marriage can be between only one male and one female, that Church should bear no obligation to change in order to accept that follower.  And there are many more of these challenges that you might offer, but I'll always stand fast with the teachings of the traditional church.


That said, it is uncontested that Christianity is in rapid decline in America.  But if you compare the timeline of that decline, it will reflect the same timeline of America's decline.  And I contend that it was not caused by the decline within the traditional Church, but the decline in morals and values of the traditional Americans.


Any any church that sacrifices it's culture in order to serve a greater number of followers will prove to fail.
