It may be the biggest challenge facing America today. So many people, perhaps a majority, seem to be heading towards the “mushy middle” that is popular in politics but that has no place in Christianity. It isn’t just the loss of faith that has hurt the country. It’s the willingness of many to accept certain secular aspects of life that belong in the realm of faith.
We do this for convenience. We do it because it’s more popular. We do it to avoid arguments. We do it because some respected pastor or other religious leaders tell us to do so in the names of “tolerance” and “unity.” In reality, the rise of the “lukewarm church” in America is making our problems worse.
The same thing is happening on the other side of the fence. As science advances, so too do the questions that seem to scientifically point to the presence of the Creator. This is causing many atheists and agnostics to turn towards metaphysics, humanism, or other religions in an effort to answer the questions that science cannot. Some are seeing the truth, the Creation as it was intended by the One true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These people are realizing that the Bible is true. Unfortunately, the rise of the lukewarm church appears to be progressing more rapidly than the number of those being exposed to the truth.
C.S. Lewis understood how important Christianity is regardless of which side of the fence you’re on. He also recognized that to hold it as either the most important aspect of our lives or a non-issue are the only two viable options. To be moderate about our religious views simply doesn’t make sense.
