Comments on: Has American Culture Triumphed over American Faith? https://reformedforum.org/has-american-culture-triumphed-over-american-faith/ Reformed Theological Resources Thu, 30 May 2013 18:02:25 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7 By: Nick https://reformedforum.org/has-american-culture-triumphed-over-american-faith/#comment-1458512 Thu, 30 May 2013 18:02:25 +0000 http://reformedforum.wpengine.com/?p=2718#comment-1458512 Most of today’s so-called Christians in the United States probably can’t even articulate the Biblical Gospel. If you ask them why they think they’re going to Heaven, you’ll probably get a works righteous answer. Meanwhile, the Church is flourishing under less prosperous conditions in places like China and India.

And even amongst those American Christians who are truly believers, it’s a travesty that so many of them seem to identify more with the pseudo-religious, ultra-nationalistic cultural conservatism of people like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly than they do with teachers of God’s Word throughout the ages like Charles Spurgeon, Jonathan Edwards and Martin Luther.

But the Word of God will not fail (cf. Romans 9:6), so let us take heart.

Well, this is normal now because people wants to be entertained so much.
They always get bored (church goers). Even though we are in a digital world now.
it means that we are morally driven individuals.

I am afraid that we have done that here in America, though it is not a new development. I can’t think of a time in American History where American culture was less influential than Christianity.
