"Where is the church?"
I have asked that question in frustration. It gets asked about every evil in every age.
Here is the answer....
Right where the true church has always been. Sharing the gospel. Teaching truth. Functioning Biblically.
The presence of sin in a society is no more the church's fault than the presence of sin in a newborn baby is the church's fault.
Why?
Because lost sinners will always act like lost sinners. And Biblical local churches will always combat lies with truth. And lost sinners care no more for truth than criminals care for law.
The gospel presupposes that sinners are depraved. What do you think sin will look like in a lost culture? Peaches and cream? Sugar and spice and everything nice?
We can end abortion tomorrow at noon and at 12:00:01 someone will run over someone with a truck in the name of their god or for the color of their skin. And someone will say, "Where's the church?"
Right where she has always been. Preaching the gospel. Teaching truth. Functioning Biblically.
Short of mass regeneration you can expect more of the same until Christ returns.
Blame the church and you find out how low your view of human depravity really is.

I will state that many christians have gotten very frustrated and upset with the events of recent days but most christians do very little to spread the gospel or to speak out against false teachings and teachers.
