Program #40 – State of the Church – November 14, 2011

The program “State of the Church” covers some of the errors and problems in the American church.   The first matter of business is to define the church.   The church is a disaster if one includes in the definition of the church all those who profess to be the church.   This has been the mistake of many organizations who claim that, statistically, the evangelical church is no better than the world.  The program also discusses the error of “blaming the church” for the moral decline in America.   The program outlines two major attacks on the people of God  (1)  Worldliness    (2) Misuse of Wealth
