Hi Brian, I am a older white Christian man who has been saved since the 70’s. I am appalled with the state of the Christian Church in America. It is plagued by racism, idolatry (I.e. political and otherwise), and just a stupid kind of nonchalance about anything except, of course, their comfort and survival. Years ago, I read a book written in the 60’s by A.W. Tozer in which he decried the state of the church back then! I didn’t get it then…but I see it clearly now. It is a church that does not see sin, holiness, or godliness clearly enough to care about or be concerned with. It is a frivolous church that loves comfort, entertainment, safety and manages itself without Jesus in many respects. It is no longer a Christian entity in many ways…it is an Americanized version that is moth-eaten and weak. You may think I am overstating this. But, look at the early church, and even the church in other parts of the world today, and see where we stack up. Would enjoy your honest comments. I am not some old judgmental guy who thinks he is without sin. Just wondering what has happened.
P.s. Read your article re: segregated Christian music. Nothing has changed since you wrote it…has it?
