The Decline of Christianity?

 "Why is Christianity and church attendance in decline?  It must be wrong!"

..is a claim i hear increasingly.  

1. Church attendance does not equal "Christians!"  Business networking, socialization, habit, and cultural similarity are historically big draws for church attendance. 

2. Decades of state indoctrination, anti-christian propaganda, and censorship, spinning false narratives about "Evil Christianity!"  has deceived many people, and driven them from Christianity.

3. True Christianity is about knowing God, not participation in a social club.

4. A great Apostasy (falling away) is predicted for the end times. Perhaps this is it.

5. Following the crowd is no safeguard for Truth. The opposite is usually the case.

6. Corruption and watered down, mealy mouthed 'teachers!', especially in large, corporate denominations, has diluted the Gospel message, corrupted it, and obscured its power. Heresy has corrupted the power of the Message. 

Seekers of truth should not be distracted by crowds or mobs. They seldom have Truth driving them.  Usually,  it is lies and manipulation. 

Don't follow the crowds.  Think. Seek your Maker.  He is the only source of Truth.
