Is the American Church Abandoning the True Gospel?
While we understand that God is sovereignly in control, He uses people to rise up, take a stand, and call the church to repentance.
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. – Galatians 1:6–9
No truer words could apply to the state of the church today than that. As we are told in Ecclesiastes 1:9, “there is nothing new under the sun.” History just keeps repeating itself over and over again. Looking throughout history, we’ve seen the church fall away from biblical faith, and then come back. It ebbs and flows.
Often times we’ll see a revival or reformation occur, followed by complacency, followed by a falling away, and then it starts all over again. I believe that for the last 30+ years, the church has been complacent. We are now in the part of the cycle where the church is falling away.
One of the things that we also see is that during the falling away, there will be a remnant of true believers calling the church to repentance. We saw this with Charles Spurgeon and the Downgrade Controversy. We saw this with Martin Luther and the Reformation. We even saw this with Jesus and His disciples in the Gospels, where the Jewish people had been led astray into a legalistic works–based religion.
While we understand that God is sovereignly in control, He uses people to rise up, take a stand, and call the church to repentance.

The modern American church has fallen away. The biggest battle against evil is currently taking place in world history and sadly most people choose to sit on the sidelines. Most pastors and their flock refuse to take place in the battle. Leaving it up to a remnant of conservative Christians to fight this battle against evil virtually alone.
Most US citizens sit idly by as a rogue government and demonic “justice” department defend the indefensible act of abortion and then brazenly paint those who choose to stand up for the unborn as criminals, while increasingly attempting to silence and or jail those who speak out and who stand up for the unborn. Conservatives Christians are the new enemies of the police state and many are embracing and funding their own demise.
When will people realize that silence in the face of evil and corruption makes them a big part of the evil and corruption? God will not look kindly upon those of who choose to remain silent while evil, corruption and injustice run wild in a world covered within a blanket of demonic insanity.
@Jeff Dornik - until you realize what the True Gospel actually IS, you will not grasp the scope of what has been done to all humanity. The only definition of The Gospel in the Bible is in Hebrews 4:2 which tells us both Jesus and Moses preached The Gospel. In all the other verses, The Gospel, is merely talked about, not defined. The Gospel is of course what Jesus lived, John 14:31, and he never changed it, Matthew 5:17. Until you learn the fact that all of Christianity Theology is a lie built on a foundation of ANTI-Christ sand, by the Catholic Church, and furthered by the Protestant church, you will not understand the world around you. You are in a Theological matrix which keeps you in bondage and you do not know it. Satan developed a really clever way to cause people to grieve the Holy Spirit after they were Born Again - he founded man's theologies to cause them to live in violation of the Torah (The Gospel, Hebrews 4:2). Even in the Jewish world, Satan did the exact same thing. Satan cause the vast majority of Jews to live under Babylonian Talmudic Judaism rather than live like Karaite Jews who live exactly like Jesus and Moses lived. You never really hear about Karaite Jews do you? They are in the "FEW" minority that Jesus spoke about in Matthew 7: Matthew 7:14
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
