Re: What Will Christianity Look Like in 50 Years?
The future does not look bright for the USA.
The world no longer fears America because America no longer fears God.
50 years from now there might not be a USA.

Re: What Will Christianity Look Like in 50 Years?
imo, he sounds about what I would "guess" things will be.
Something else I would add would be "gay" marriage will become more acceptable just like marriage between races has become more acceptable in most places.

Re: What Will Christianity Look Like in 50 Years?
just as the Amish and Hutterites have clung to many of their old ways, there will be parts of Chistendom that will hold to many of their old ways.

Re: What Will Christianity Look Like in 50 Years?
makeup and jewelry will become more accepted by "holiness" people.
Eyebrow pencil has become acceptable as has light colored lipstick and blush and "just a little powder to take the shine off the nose" in many congregations and has been for some time. Pink or coral fingernail polish has become acceptable and so have "french" fingernails and "fake" fingernails.
Hair on many Apostolic women has become short enough to manage but long enough for the current "church hairstyle."
Many have two sets of clothes: the "church clothes" worn to church and the regular clothes worn the rest of the time.
I'm not judging any of these things, just pointing out our "hypocrisy" with them.

Europe has been godless for at least two generations, they're still around.
Personally I believe America remains blessed because of the church (which I know you believe is in shambles but I believe is vibrant and alive still here---you're just looking at the wrong people/places) and because of our loyalty to Israel. There are consequences for sin and we will and are suffering the consequences in a variety of ways but overall God waits patiently because of the Church and because of Israel.
Now when the nation turns on the Church like the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany and when we turn on the Jews like the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany---look out, our days are numbered---just like the USSR and the Nazis.
