I see the church as having forgotten what we were told to do...be salt and light unto this world. The church, sometime in the mid 1950’s, lost something. It became fat and happy. The church turned inwards and settled itself to just being there. The church didn’t put up much of a fight and before it was too late ungodly men were being elected, rights were being stripped away and abominations were being discovered as “constitutional” rights.
You always here about the “silent” majority. It’s the “silent” part that has gotten us into this mess we see today.

I don’t know enough modern church history to know whether this is true or not . . . but it sounds right to me. Any particular reason you think this happened in the 1950’s?
