“Do you really think that the many, many, many Protestant denominations are not decaying in the storefront churches?”
Historically, the Church is constantly decaying and renewing—certainly the mainstream protestant denominations have decayed decisively. But prophecy tells us the Church will be there at the end. So repeated renewal seems to be likely.
In answer to your question, some are and some aren’t. The Church appears to me to be more vital in Africa and China right now than in America. But that’s just my observation from afar. The Spirit moves according to its own logic and I have seen some great things happen here. The next renewal could come out of the least likely of places, even San Francisco or Mecca.
**The Church appears to me to be more vital in Africa and China right now than in America.**
I posted an article last week from Zenit.org about Africa and China being where the Catholic Church as well as Christian churches are growing now.
In Africa, though, it was the southern part. And I’m sure you understand what I am not saying there.
