Tired of "God is Dying Statistics"

You’ve read the books, blogs, magazines, and statistics. You’ve heard the messages, professors, talk show hosts, and conference speakers. From TV to radio and newspapers to the pulpit, the irritating message has remained the same; God is dying and people are losing their faith. You’ve heard this statement in some form or fashion if you’ve been around anywhere lately. To be brutally honest, and while most statistics are inarguably accurate, I am fatigued at all of the rage. In fact, at our ministry at Arkansas State, we could argue quite the contrary. We have seen more students involved in holistic discipleship than we have ever seen before; there are countless ministries that would echo the same type of experience. The answer to this “god crisis” is not yelling statistics in face of America, but to simply to be an instrument of 1 Corinthians 2:1-5;

"And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."


God is still in control...even when it doesn't look like it circumstantially.

If God is in control, then He won’t be dying...
