PRRI study reveals Christian decline, unaffiliated growth

The Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) just released a new study about religious changes in America. They also gathered information about how respondents grew up and their support for Christian nationalism. It’s a real bombshell, and it’s got evangelicals coping and seething. Today, let’s cover this study’s main points—and see Read more

Evangelism—for the sake of America itself this time

Evangelicals have been flailing for years to bump up their evangelism numbers. Really, they’ve done everything except be worthwhile groups to join! And now, they’ve got a wild new hope—a new study showing that a good number of Americans are sad about religion being on the decline in our country. Read more

Jack Hibbs shows us how evangelical leaders use the culture wars

A recent editorial at Christian Post (archive) featured a sermon about spiritual warfare from a pastor named Jack Hibbs. Hibbs leads a church named Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, California.

It’s important to keep the flocks living in fear of the Endtimes

Oh, I loved this recent opinion piece from Christian Post about the Endtimes (archive). It’s just so very old-school evangelical, and it will no doubt hit its mark with its intended target audience.
