According to revelation, there seems to be both a falling away and a revival in the end.

I now live in “babdis” territory and even attend one regularly. However, nobody has even asked me to join. A friend pastored at one for a year or so and they kicked him out. He said that some members that had been going there for decades could not tell you the difference between the old and new testament. He was trying to rectify that and the “old families” would have no part of it.

I haven't seen ignorance on that scale in our church but we have two members who call themselves, "lay preachers" and their ignorance sometimes astounds me. They don't "preach" in our church but there are Pastors in the area that have them fill in for them occasionally.

One of the two has a license to preach. Which is a huge joke and he doesn't even realize it. I understand these "licenses" are available on line for a small fee or one could just print his own, even cheaper.

In my experience there is a remnant in every denomination, a remnant in every church.

Next time you go to church join me in the ministry of dumb questions and ask people what they remember about the sermon or what caught their attention in reading the Bible this past week.

Now the good news is “judge not lest ye be judged.” Because you ask these dumb question, you better be prepared to respond.

The Southern Baptist churches are segregated by race. Is this falling away from the white churches, the black churches or both/
