![]() ![]() It is intended to be something of a memorial wall, written that we might remember the power of unseen forces to condition our lives, our world and our churches. This book examines how the perfect social storm of the 1960’s began and continues to shape world culture and the Evangelical Church. This book exposes four of the key cultural factors responsible for this shift each of which were present in the American cultural revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. Why has reverence in both form and dress when coming into the presence of God in worship been transformed into a casual “celebration” and an often sensual party like atmosphere led by a praise band in the “worship center” rather than a quiet reverent form of listening to the voice of the LORD and uniting voices in congregational singing of spiritual hymns in the “sanctuary” as in years past? This book helps to answer these and many other such important questions that may puzzle the mature Christian. Why is there so much of an overemphasis on “grace” with so little said of repentance, holy living, and obedience to the faith? What social influences have led to this deplorable condition and the church's steady decline toward apostasy? These are the subject of this book. Evangelical Protestantism underwent such a radical transformation over the past forty years that the Evangelical churches of today bear little resemblance to their mid 20th century counterparts. ![]()
