I remember these rumors and accusations during the Reagan’s first term. Same thing. Wrath of God, dogs sleeping with cats, end of the world.
I live in the South East, I drive by 12 churches just going to the grocery store, some of them small, the church couldn’t fit more than 30 people, and some of them are Super Baptist centers and others in between.
I am in North Florida, near Georgia. Same thing. There are certainly many Churches, but what most don’t realize is how many do not really preach the gospel anymore. Hillary Clinton’s church for instance preaches social justice and homosexual acceptance. They are in for finding out Romans 1 the hard way.
There are other signs too, like Labyrinth Paths. These are pagan ritual sites for meditation and summoning of spirits. Several once respectable churches have them in my town now.
I am not saying the sky is falling tomorrow, but it is a slow slippery process that starts somewhere.
ahhhh....good times those Reagan years. I was in the Bay Area for most of them and I dated a couple of self-professed “white witches”. Sweet girls who had no religious upbringing in particular and were crazy in bed. Now that I think on it, both of them did hate the Gipper....
