Is American Christianity Witnessing a Revival?

If there's one thing pastors constantly pray for, it's a revival. Well, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center, published Tuesday, their prayers are being answered — right now.

More than a quarter of Americans (27 percent) say they currently attend services at least once or twice a month, but did not do so earlier in their adult lives. More Christians are among this group than non-Christians. Even better, about half of these people say the main reason they attend church more frequently is due to changes in their religious beliefs — they are growing closer to God.

Different denominations are growing at different rates, but 65 percent of Christians overall attend services at least once or twice a month. Evangelicals enjoy the highest church attendance rate, at 75 percent, while historically black Protestants also have a high rate (68 percent). Even over half of mainline Protestants attend regularly (53 percent), as do 60 percent of Catholics.

Sadly, too many pastors are progressives. I wish more pastors taught how the left is trying to eliminate Christianity.

Then you have the Osteens and Tiltons and others who teach something hardly resembling Christianity.

Nothing in this world is going to satisfy you. Worship the creator not the creation, God is the only way to true happiness
