Starving Saints / James MacDonald
It’s all true. Everywhere I go I hear it. Like a tragedy as visual as the starving peoples of sub-Saharan Africa, the saints in North America are starving. Most followers of Jesus Christ attend churches where the content of the message is geared toward wooing worldlings with watered down content that won’t offend. “Keep them comfortable,” “give them time,” “don’t upset or alienate,” these are the watchwords of watered down churches.
