From 2012 to 2013 in America Where is the church?

Where we are

“History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new.” (NLT) --Ecclesiastes 1:9

Where we are

How we got here What’s wrong with our country?

How we got here What’s wrong with the Church in our country?

How we got here “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” (NIV) --Matthew 5:13

What we should do 1) Make fans so uncomfortable that they become followers or leave. No fans

What we should do 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” (NIV) --Matthew 7 No fans

What we should do I’ll let you decide how to format this long quote from the NIV so it flows best… No fans

What we should do 2) Drop stealth evangelism and speak up appropriately No fans No stealth

What we should do 3) Stop complaining and focus on the positive No fans No stealth No whining

What we should do Change our country! No fans No stealth No whining
