Originally posted on thinkGOSPEL blog:
See part 1, Fundamentalism: The Development of a Movement. Fundamentalism never wavered from its original purpose to defend the faith.

Yet, the more recent agenda of the Vatican comes as a result of Benedict’s declaration in 2010 that it is “time to …

As a minister, I have spoken to more than a few people, who have observed lights in the sky, UFOs, orbs of light and other phenomena which are relegated to the paranormal. Do you realize, according to recent and reputable polls, more people in America believe in ET than in the God of Creation? From …

While a few ecclesiologists and missiologists saw a trending decline (since 2010ish) in Evangelicalism (See this ARTICLE based on the book, The Great Evangelical Recession), no one foresaw such a dramatic exodus of Evangelicalism by these younger generations.
