Quote: The Unsalty Church
We live in an age when it is statistically impossible to distinguish the difference between someone who goes to church from someone who does not. (Notice I am not narrowing the field to “Bible-believing Christians” because … the general notion … is that basically everyone at church is going to be snatched away [in the Rapture].) Pick any moral issue which is supposed to differentiate the saved from the unsaved and, in America at least, there is no statistical difference. They both have the same divorce rate, the same attitudes toward sex and relationships, the same opinions on homosexuality, and in spite of their public stance to the contrary, the same percentage of abortions. In the face of these facts, do you really believe that everyone at church today is a member of the “faithful remnant”? Do you believe that even half of the average congregation qualifies?
