Only Church effective at heart change can survive this purge

Since media overwhelms family, church, school in giving values and beliefs, Christianity must become more effective in heart change, life transformation and emotional inner healing to survive this influence.  How we do church must go deeper based on the cutting edge understanding of the tools of inner healing.

Without effective heart change transformed Christians will become extinct.  Here is David Platt's observations.

David Platt discusses what it looks like to be a Christian today.

He says, "We live in a day where is means almost nothing to be a Christian. According to research almost 4 out of every 5 Americans identify themselves as Christians...But in this group of self proclaimed Christians, less than half of them are involved in church on a weekly basis. Less than half of them believe the Bible is true. An overwhelming majority of them don't have a biblical view of the world around them. So researchers went even deeper then to distinguish men and women who are 'born again Christians,' as if there's any other kind of Christian. But these are people who say they've made a personal commitment to Jesus, they believe they'll go to heaven, because they've accepted Jesus as their savior. And according to research nearly half of Americans are 'born again Christians.' But you look at this group of 'born again Christians' and researchers found that their beliefs and lifestyles and virtually indistinguishable from the world around them. Many 'born again Christians' believe their works can earn them a place in heaven. Others think that Christians and Muslims worship the same god. Some believe that Jesus sinned while He was on Earth. And an ever increasing number of 'born again Christians' just describe themselves as marginally committed to Jesus. So people you can use data like this to conclude that Christians are really not that different from the rest of the world. But I don't think that interpretation of that research is accurate. I think the one thing that's abundantly clear from those statistics is that there are a whole lot of people in our country who think that they are Christians, but they are not. There are scores of people—here and around the world who culturally distinguish themselves as Christians and biblically are not followers of Christ."
