A hopeful sign that a new generation of American men may be reclaiming their status as the leaders of the community instead of the scapegoats.
It is simple Evolution. Christian couples tend to stay married which helps make their children successful. Those also have more kids then the other alternatives. So the numbers of Christians eventually bounce back.
Partial fake news.
There isn’t a direct correlation between religion and conservative thought.
Seeing a decline in the rock-n-roll, mega, arena churches would be a good start to get people back.
I heard that a lot of young men, and women, are turning to Orthodoxy and Eastern Catholicism.
I also see a growing, but admittedly still small, number of young black men not only coming to church, but committing to living it like they mean it. This includes waiting until they're married to have kids. They come to the financial small group single, then come back through it years later married so that their wives also know financial wisdom, and say they're wanting to know it BEFORE they have kids.
Most of the blacks who do that tell us group leaders that they came from single-parent homes and want to do things God's way so that their kids don't experience what they did.
The word “conservative” does not show up, even once, in the excerpt. This post seems to be entirely about Christianity.
Thank you. I had to step in and repeat this.
What a srock of chit this is. Any “increase” in Catholics in America is thanks to the illegal alien invasion. These invaders are 100% Catholic Marxists who attend Mass regularly (the womenfolk anyway) but who neither believe in, nor practice, birth control. Who would take a drug to prevent the creation of an automatic American citizen? Especially when the expense and procedures attendant thereto are entirely covered by taxpayers’ dollars? I mean, come on, man! The illegal aliens who broke another law to register and vote in the last presidential election voted for Trump because they are anti-abortion. Duhhhhh! So what’s he gonna do for them, now that they are part of his constituency? Deport them? I don’t think so. Reality can play strange games with your head.
Here’s hoping.
Very.
Is this author Ruth Graham of the Billy Graham lineage?
This young generation might be the first one in 2 millennia which is more religious than their grandparents.
People need to be careful about praying for “revival”. And student of history knows what usually precedes it.😉
But then, there is that old phrase, “no pain, no gain”. Humans tend to learn not from their successes, but from their (or others) mistakes.
Liberals love to put people into demographic boxes.
Individualism is a concept they can not wrap their heads around.
It was shocking to me to learn how long these have been around, well before my lifetime and centered in the Pentecostal culture. Oral Roberts was one of these early pioneers of the arena church, and before him, Aimee Semple McPherson with her showy Angelus Temple routines in the 1920's. Besides being an unqualified woman, she was also an adulteress.
I don't think these are going to go away as long as there are tens of thousands of duped attendees willing to provide a market for them.
That is so blatantly untrue. One can be conservative and not be "religious." Though I wish that were the case, these days we're seeing so called conservatives have no Christian morals or values whatsoever. And that will be the downfall of conservatism unless that trend is reversed.
