The Pulse of a Nation

Book excerpt: The Pulse of a Nation... Is the American Church in trouble? Many Christian leaders in other countries are deeply concerned for the American Church. They cannot understand why we do not see what is happening in our church culture more clearly and do something about it. Has the American Church abandoned many of the fundamental principles that were imparted to them? This growing global concern for the American Church did not start recently. Over three decades ago, the late David Watson, a Christian leader from Great Britain, predicted that by the close of the twentieth century Christianity in the West would probably be too self-indulgent to be a global factor. Sound the Alarm... Is cultural relativity really our problem? It is time for the true body of Christ to rise up and no longer give in to being a product or participant of our current moral declining society. It is time for a CULTURAL WAR! It is time for the Church to be unwavering in its commitment to the true faith. Anything less will leave the American Church in a state of dying a slow, costly death. Confronting a Post-Christian Culture What will it take? Dr. Jerry Williamson has put his finger on the "pulse" of the Western Church. His diagnosis is accurate, well articulated, and documented. The cure is equally clear and achievable if the Church has the discipline and will to apply his prescription. DON'T READ THIS BOOK ... unless you want to be convicted, challenged, and changed! Dr. Williamson is a modern day prophet crying in a secular and religious wilderness. Our response to his message will determine the future of our nation. -Dr. Charles Travis, general secretary, Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches and president, Aidan University DR.
