Don’t Rejoice in the Collapse of Cultural Christianity

Cultural Christianity in America is dying. The signs are everywhere: Blue laws have disappeared, pornography pervades our culture, and Christian views on sexuality and the family are increasingly attacked in the public square. Gone are the days in which a sitting U.S. President (Ulysses S. Grant) could write to America's Sunday School students: "Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your liberties; write its precepts in your hearts, and practise them in your lives. To the influence of this book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization."
