In 1882, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche famously declared “God is dead.” Today, more than 140 years later, some might argue “THE CHURCH IS DEAD.” Or… at LEAST churches are DYING. And who could blame them for thinking that? Look around. In the Western world, church attendance is plummeting. Society is changing. Biblical morality is being ridiculed. And a sense
of shared values seems to be evaporating… right before our very eyes.
The news feeds reflect this trend… and NOT just in America. Here are some recent headlines:
“Losing My Religion: How the UK is leaving the Church and gaining conspiracy theories”
“How Canada’s religious makeup has shifted over the past 20 years”
“Is Christianity dying in Australia? Here’s how to redeem it from the bottom up”
For many of us, these headlines might resonate. In cities and towns all over the Western world, church attendance is down. More churches are closing each year in the United States than are opening--in some years by a margin of almost 1,500 (“Study: More churches closing than opening,” ReligionNews.com, May 26, 2021).
And some predict that 1/3 of Canada’s churches may close in the coming years. (“Secularization: A Third of Canada’s Churches Will Close,” WorldReligionNews.com, March 17, 2019)
What does the future hold for the modern Christianity of our Western nations? Will it die out altogether?

Let’s explore that together, today on Tomorrow’s World. And later in the program, we’ll give you an opportunity to order today’s free offer, “Restoring Original Christianity.”
