10 biggest problems Christian Americans are facing today:

1. A diluted faith.

2. Or is it something else? Pride

3. Biblical illiteracy.

4. Do we have closed minds?

5. Which way should we go?

6. Have we become the Church of Laodicea?

7. A lack of honesty

8. Bad publicity.

I'll add to this list but bear in mind, I don't think your list applies to those who belong to Jesus Christ.

11. Hateful of others and jealous of others in the world.
12. Focused upon wealth acquisition, wealth accumulation, and the retention of wealth. Status is still derived from wealth, possessions, etc.
13. Hearts which run cold, suspecting as well as accusing others of wrongdoing.
14. Whining and complaining when they're called out for atrocious behavior, tying in to your own #8 (they often blame it on a world which hates them, ironically enough...)
 

This list pertains to Christians.I am sure that we could make a long list but some of those concerns come under the category of the 10 that were posted.

There is but one, that is the individuals that think they  have need to be pointing out, as their own only ministry, negative things out about other  Christian's ministries.   That  would be my best guess.

It seems to me unchastity needs to be on the list.

Number 6 would possibly cover that. They were not so good.

Ten is a good number for a list. It speaks of fullness, or the full quota. The problems stated can be examined in the three theological categories of the world, the flesh, and the devil. The number three speaks of combined strength. The showdown between God and His enemies is imminent, and we know who wins. I read the Book of Revelation every day if possible.

Good thread right now, thanks Miss M.

Churchianity and Christianity are not the same thing, Not always. There are times in History times of revival when Churchianity is in line with Christianity, But the Body of Christ is distinct from the corporate institutional church. The Problems you describe are church problems, not Christian problems. It is the church institution that falls away, that dilutes faith, loses its savor becomes Laodicea. Born again believers never do. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (phil. 2:12) It does not say your corporate salvation. When the church is no more as a viable institution, there will remain the saints. When the church of Laodicea dies out, there will not be another church age, Only the saints will remain.

Adding to the Gospel Of Pure Grace.......... “of course Jesus Saves! ...........B U T, once you know THAT, ya gotta.......( please insert your favorite Dead Work here )

 “ Repenting Of All Sins Before you die”  is what saves.....NOT Grace , extended to all that Believe because “ Jesus Paid it ALL”

 “ Sinning sends people to Hell” as opposed to “ Jesus settled the Sin Issue at the Cross with His “ ONCE and for all Sacrifice” ......UNBELIEF is what damns Souls to Hell”

 “ If people can “ sin all they want” and not go to Hell, Sin will EXPLODE! .......If you Trust in the Finished Work Of The Cross and NOTHING else ( Especially your Performance ) God will put His Spirit in you and He will see to it that your Old “ wants” become New “ wants”—— wants that line up with His Will.....

Life is not Fair—- The Mighty Ohio Buckeyes Lost tonight ......
