The Failure of the Modern American Church Charles Vogan

For the last 100 years, the Church in America has gradually changed, generation after generation, until it has lost its historic roots and has completely taken on the consumerism and media-driven character of modern American culture -- with all its emptiness and banality. The result is that the Church no longer has a voice in our culture, and America has lost its sole witness to the Truth. Continuing along the path that we're taking now will only make things worse. Our sins are finally catching up with us. The only options left are either to go down with our culture in flames, or to pull back and reorganize along Biblical principles. It's going to mean walking away from our culture ("Carry the cross!") and re-establishing our Church life firmly on the Apostolic and Prophetic testimony. It's not likely that we will save America, but we may be able to bring the Church back to its Biblical roots -- if we take drastic action now, before it's too late.
