I don’t agre with all of this man’s predictions. Personally, I think it’s a little doom and gloom, focused on the statistics of American Christianity and not the faithfulness of God to the preaching of the Gospel. That being said, the future of evangelicalism given the tide of the current culture wars is certainly precarious, [...]
