What Liberalism Does to a Church

What Liberalism Does to a Church

Many Christian grow weary of hearing warnings about liberalism's threat to the church. The following facts will help the honest disciples see why the danger is real and the warning needed. More than 50 years ago theological liberalism overtook most of the mainline Protestant denominations in America. Consider what has happened to them since 1960.

The Presbyterian Church had in 1960, 4.2 million members. They now have 2.3 million.

The United Church of Christ boasted 2.2 million then, but only 1.3 million now.

The Episcopal Church claimed 3.4 million back then but now has shrunk to 2.3.

The same decline has affected all the liberal Protestant groups. When populations of wildlife suffering such drastic decline they are considered endangered species.

On the other hand, the conservative, evangelical churches are still thriving and growing. One need not be a Nobel Prize winner to see that the path of liberalism spells death to any church that travels it. If we would survive, we must cling to those fundamental truths of our faith, never doubting the Bible or the Savior.
