Letter to the church

Join us as we explore the current state of the church in America. Drawing from statistics from the Barna research group, we expose a startling revelation: a mere 4% of self-proclaimed Christians hold a biblical worldview. Avoiding chronological snobbery we hit the road running with the ancient city of Laodicea as a reference point. We delve into Jesus' words to the church of Laodicea, found in Revelation 3:14, and explore the profound implications it holds for us today.

The discussion then shifts to an examination of the immense influence of commercialization on the church, comparing the robust American economy with the biblical warnings given to the Laodicean church. We touch on the complexities of living in a society that's engrossed in the trading market, a multi-billion-dollar entertainment industry, and even boasts smart toilets! All this leads us to question: has the church become a hub for competition and snobbery? 

Finally, we critically assess the alarming rise of showmanship in the church, questioning whether worship experiences have shifted from honoring Jesus to celebrating human stars. We explore whether the church's emphasis on marketing has overshadowed the Gospel's true message. We end with a call to action: a plea for churches to awaken from their complacency, seek conviction, and equip themselves to navigate the current spiritual climate. Listen in as we pray for the presence of the Holy Spirit to guide us in these challenging times.
