    I'm 71 years old, raised in an evangelical church. I have spent most of my life as a pastor's wife. I have seen the slippery slope that our churches have gone down. We need to PRAY for our leaders, for a revival in our churches. It is America's only hope.

      The only way to stop these false teaching is to leave non Biblical churches and find those who teach the truth. For example JW.

    Wonderful, insightful remarks. The decline of the Evangelical Church has actually been going on for decades, long before the current issues that are talked about here. We can see this decline in many aspects: 1) the embracing of feminism with such things as the ordination of women; 2) gender-neutral language and even gender-neutral bibles, and the abolition of the generic masculine in the English language; 3) a liberal approach to divorce and premarital sex 4) the embracing of biblical criticism (Higher and Lower); 5) the embracing of evolution 6) a watering down or denigrating of the doctrine of Hell, hardly ever talked about any more; 7) the abandonment of the King James Bible for such modern versions as the New International Version (now out of print and replaced by a gender-neutral version with the same name); 8) giving lip service to the pro-life cause but in reality ignoring the issue as really unimportant; 9) making "Biblical inerrancy" the subject of so many qualifications as to make it in reality meaningless. Other signs of this decline can be seen in how modern culture shapes the Evangelical Church, such as in church worship, where modern ideas of music and poetry have completely eradicated traditional worship is many churches; 10) Hymn singing, an aspect of traditional worship for centuries, has largely disappeared, along with choirs. When allowed to remain, hymns have been rewritten to make them "gender-neutral" because traditional words are deemed "offensive to women", an idea the comes from feminism, not Scripture. The NAE and Christianity Today are LIBERAL, and have been for some time. Formerly solid evangelical publishers have been going down the same route: Zondervan, Baker Book House, Thomas Nelson, etc., publishing "progressive" Christian views that would have been rejected out of hand even a generation ago (.e.g Rachel Held Evans's book Inspired, published by Thomas Nelson).

    • @johnvahl762
      @johnvahl762 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The decline started with churches that stopped standing on the authority of the biblical account of creation. They pushed to incorporate evolution into our understanding of the creation of the world and universe. We continued to send our children to public schools which undermine the Bible and universities and even seminaries run by Marxist teachers and administrators. If your biblical studies teacher is an Atheist, how can you expect to learn about the Bible or a Judeo-Christian worldview. It is time to put these organizations on notice that they have strayed from the faith and are becoming false teachers as Jesus predicted. "Progressive Christians" are just Atheists in training.

    Megan, your skilled and measured thoughts were communicated so powerfully. Your composed delivery was a great means of delivering your well structured essay. It has been so disheartening to witness many Evangelical leaders, like Keller and Piper, abandon biblical mandates in favor of progressive popularity. Imagine if Tim Keller had asked Francis Collins : “What are humanized mice and why is the NIH funding such a program? How does someone who calls himself an Evangelical, allow such testing on aborted fetus body parts? I think the answer lies in the fact the Evangelical watchmen on the walls conveniently look the other way to maintain their worldly alliances.

    It's no wonder that the NAE has caved in on ALL the basic moral issues of biblical Evangelicalism. Thank you for documenting their apostasy, although it is so sadly evident. May God have mercy and grant repentance to escape these snares of the devil ! Read 2 Tim 2:25-27

    I think becoming a better citizen is more than a secondary effect of Christianity. Although, i agree that that sanctification is a nonlinear and mysterious process. 1 thessalonians says, "and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."

    Megan I could respect you more if you’d back down and apologize over AT THE VERY LEAST giving a misimpression about Gavin Ortlund, if not outright slandering and misquoting him! Even if (especially if?) it was accidental, it still happened…
    Don’t dig your heels in; repent!
    You have an important message and reputation you can still redeem. Don’t just defend yourself; re-examine the trail of pertinent communications asking “What is Gavin honestly saying? And what impression would a reader of my (Megan’s) words about him honestly get if they just read them? And do they match?”
    Ironically, i agree with you-about the issue. About the climate.
    But you’re in the wrong, and he’s right, morally

    This is an excellent presentation. Now go back further, because the Evangelical leaders Megan would identify with (E.g. the John MacArthurs, R.C. Sprouls, etc.) are "woke liberals" compared with the Church Fathers on matters of divorce and remarriage and even contraception and IVF. These are the sins not only "whispered" in Evangelical circles, but denied altogether. The prodigal behaviour Megan observes did not just spawn from nowhere. It has theological precedents... and going down that rabbit hole might lead her to places she doesn't want to go.

    The founders (not a unified group) were not at all that Christian (as defined as orthodox) and their thinking was not at all evangelical. The founding generation was not interested in a holy life but in virtuous living which meant being willing to sacrifice for society. The church was valuable because it promoted a culture of supporting virtue. This video promotes a church much more partisan than holy.
