It is simply my personal viewpoint as someone who is not a church member. I see a growth in church numbers, particularly of "mere Christian" type churches such as espoused by that great Christian apologist, C.S. Lewis. I seem to meet more people who profess their Christianity proudly than I did a decade ago.

While this is not scientific or poll driven, I have learned to trust my intuition on issues such as this. On most, it has proved to be correct.

The Creator whose epic story flows through the pages of Scripture has begun to dissolve the strongholds of evil. This new drama is being played out every hour around the globe, accompanied sometimes by mind-bending miracles."

I see a growth in church numbers, particularly of "mere Christian" type churches such as espoused by that great Christian apologist, C.S. Lewis.

I abandoned my protestant Church years ago. My new one is non-denominational. Unapologetic Fundamentalists with a Hunger for His Word. These are the Churches growing in the U.S.

Among the remainder of traditional Churches, those of absolutist teachings experience growth while the humanistic pop culture churches tend to be on decline.

Historically oppression breeds revival. Whether it be the removal of the ten Commandments or the enslavement of people that wear a cross around their neck, the environment of the world at this point in its history is ripe for a Christian Revival.

I agree with you. I have felt for a long time we're in the midst of spiritual change and I do not take the events of the day to be without meaning.

Take the backlash against Christians by the MSM currently. It may please their readers that are numerous, but for far more than it pleases there are those with eyes opened that find themselves repulsed. Anyone with dormant beliefs in a Creator is being jarred awake, purposely, imo.
