The Approaching Darkness

The Decline of the Church in the Age of Liberal Progressivism is written with the purpose of warning Christians of the terrible condition of the world today. There is no other time as challenging to the body of Christ as the last one hundred years. As the world embraces liberal progressivism, so is the relationship with God demises among people. Moral codes are thrown into the winds, and ethical standards are abandoned without qualms. And in the face of all this, the church has continued to be weakened by the various levels of compromise taken by church leaders.

The church has become incapacitated and powerless in the face of intimidation from the liberal progressives. Church leaders are more interested in raising money for ministries with no tangible impact than making their voices heard against the intense attack on the church and its members.

As bad as the situation is, the once no-go area of the person of the Lord Jesus Christ has become a butt of jokes and ridicule among liberal foot soldiers. Although they are not expected to respond like Moslems do whenever the name of Mohammed is used disparagingly, Christian leaders are expected to stand up and say something when the name or person of Christ is disrespected. Instead, the silence among Christian leaders is not different from that of the silence of the graveyard.

Every indication is that the present world is on its final steps to its end. Because of this, what is happening now is just the beginning of the time of sorrow, as the Lord forewarned us. Things will get worse generally, especially for the true believers in Christ. The situation will be so terrible that it will be everybody for themselves. The seeming apathy of the church now will compare as nothing to its situation during the last years of this age.
