Sadly, many people are going to hear this [news of a recent survey showing many religious groups losing ground] and bemoan the losing of a Christian America. Regrettably, too many people are going to be so caught up in their political agendas that they miss what this means for real Christianity. Unfortunately, so many people are going to view this as Christians losing the fight for a Christian nation that they will forget God never asked us to produce a Christian nation. He asked us to get the message of forgiveness and freedom to one more person.<\/p>\n
With that in mind, this doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re losing the battle. Rather, it means the fields are more white than they\u2019ve been in a long time. There are more people who aren\u2019t religious. That means there are more people who are going to be recognizing something is missing, even if they aren\u2019t going to be completely up front about it.<\/p>\n
I remember the story of two shoe salesmen who were sent into a tribal country to try to expand sales. The first called home and said, \u201cI\u2019ve got bad news. We\u2019ve made a big mistake. Nobody here wears shoes. I\u2019m coming home.\u201d\u009d The second one called back and said, \u201cI\u2019ve got great news. Nobody here wears shoes. Everyone is a potential customer. Send more shoes.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
Which salesman are you?<\/p>\n
