for the emerging church,
which is another one of the flawed approaches of the man-centered Church Growth Movement:
Non-Christians are more receptive to the Gospel today than at any point in recent American history, according to one research team.
"We are seeing a new level of curiosity among those who are seeking out religion – and we rejoice that people are willing to hear about Jesus,"
said Sam S. Rainer III who heads Rainer Research.
While Rainer said he finds the increased receptivity among non-believers encouraging, the problem lies
with churches not being able to connect with them and the culture.
No Sam, the problem is that we are not preaching the genuine Gospel of Jesus Christ so God is not empowering the witness of the rapidly apostatizing American Christian Church.
