After the Fall of the West
Two recent news stories chronicle the decline of the Christian church in America as well as the collapse of the socio-economic system put together by the humanists over the last 500 years. Two things are happening simultaneously, as we witness some of the most interesting developments in human history. The Christian church is collapsing in the west. The faith is failing, but so are the humanist empires. The empty shell of a weak Christian faith is broken, but there was nothing substantial inside of it anyway.
But all of this provides great opportunity and hope for those who had never put all that much stock in the empires, or a fatally-compromised religion. We also interact with an important editorial in the Christian Science Monitor, "The Coming Evangelical Collapse."
