Christianity Astray - Bill Petite - Bog

A major portion of the Church in America has succumbed to various forms of entertainment, false teachings, politics, worldly practices and other God lacking forms of worship. Gone are the days of being able to walk into most any type of church and hear the gospel being preached or taught. Many of today's Christians are more involved in the politics of this nation or simply attending the church with the shortest sermon and best form of entertainment. The head of the Church is Jesus, but He is seldom mentioned in many of these churches. Sermons, or lectures, on social issues or problems have replaced any preaching from the Bible. Those in attendance in any church service are not encourages to read or study the Bible and as a result the Church is filled with Biblical illiterates.
Some might say this is all too harsh of a description of today's Christians in this country. But it is actually a very good description. The best way to know God is by reading the Bible but Christians don't read their Bible in today's Church. Some will probably hate this book and that's their right, but it would also prove many of the points which are made in this book. This book does point out many of the issues in today's Church which have diminished God's message to us in His word. The saddest note is that many churches in this nation have become nothing more than a community gathering which speaks of many things except God and His word.
