The Coming Evangelical Collapse: Are You Buying It? (Monday Morning Insight)

The Collapse of Evangelicalism? (Sojourners)

On the Lasting Evangelical Survival: What will and will not survive of this movement. (Christianity Today)

The Christian Science Monitor picked up three separate blog posts and published them as a single op-ed article. The author was Rev. Michael Spencer - an ordained Baptist Minister who blogs at InternetMonk.com – a blog that is consistently rated in the top twenty Christian blogs in the world. It was recently voted the number 12 blog read by Christian leaders.

However, from CSM, the article was picked up by the Drudge report and from that point on, spread across the internet and into many mainstream media outlets.

Why did this article garner such attention and such a reaction? Because its title is: “The coming evangelical collapse”.

Then, as if to affirm the Internet Monk’s predictions, not one month later, the April 4th edition of Newsweek magazine hit newsstands with this cover: The Decline and Fall of Christian America.

So is the End of really near? Is evangelical Christianity approaching a collapse? Is it facing an imminent demise? Are you out of luck and am I out of a job?

My friends, we need to be ready to respond. We must correctly understand this dialogue that is happening about us that we might to rightly discern what will and will not survive the cultural shift that is unquestionably happening.

For we must to cling to that which is unchanging, eternal, divine and we must let go of that which is dying, passing, temporal, earthly.

As the Apostle Paul charges us in 2 Cor. 4:18, “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
