Modern American Christianity has lost its power to change people, if in fact it ever had any power to begin with. However Christ is just as powerful now as ever. The biggest problem is Christianity is to America what Paganism was to the Roman Empire in the 4th century AD when it made "christianity" the state sponsered religion. Contempory Christianity norally features unregerate pagans who verbalize the name of Jesus, give lip servce to the gospel,and live like the world. Reason being.....they ARE of the world.
