Now factor in the people who say religion is very important but don’t go to church or maybe even have recognizable religion.
James 1:27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
How spotted is today’s church. It should not be, but how many times have you heard someone take God’s name in vain on church property?
There is no fear of God.
On the bright side, pickin’s are ripe. You don’t have to look as far as you used to find someone who needs the gospel.
It reminds me of the illustration of the shoe salesmen who were sent into a place where they found a barefoot civilization.
The first returned home and with the excuse that no one had shoes so they wouldn’t sell any because nobody used them.
The second sent a message back to the company that there was no competition and everyone needed what they were offering.

The true church is never irrelevant
