Christian author: US churches are weak because they're worldly
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (October 9, 2014)- Evangelical author Os (ahz) Guinness says churches have lost influence in America because Christians are fearful and compromised.
Guinness told an audience at the Family Research Council in Washington that the church is weak because it's worldly, at a time when the world needs "a positive and persuasive alternative vision of human flourishing."
He said too many American Christians lack the "courage to be different and to clearly make a stand" in a culture that's increasingly disdainful if not hostile to Christianity.
Guinness said modern culture's comfortable relativism has done more to undermine Christianity "than all the persecutors in history put together."
