My statement was not in reference to the churches of other countries. It was in reference to the only thing left in America that resembles biblical Christianity—conservative, evangelical churches. Too many churches in America are preaching a feel good gospel, are enamored with different theological doctrines or controversies, or are just preaching to the choir with sermons about sin and hell. However, if the knowledge of God is missing, then none of this has any meaning at all, and none of this will help you in times of trouble. A Gospel without the knowledge of God and his ways at the very core is essentially a false Gospel, no matter how many Scriptures are quoted and how biblical it sounds.

Thanks for the clarification and I can't agree more.

We recently changed church membership because the church we were attending changed pastors and was simply preaching pablum every Sunday.

My wife and I have always attended "conservative, evangelical churches" (non-denominational) since my conversion in 1989.

We decided to visit mainline denominations (Presbyterian, Lutheran, Methodists and a few other) to see what was out there since we never have attended any before.

All I can say, it was quite depressing.

Would you mind sharing a little bit of what you mean by knowledge of God?
