How should we understand these shows and what are we to o with the charges from some very significant scholars?

Confronting Counterfeit Christianity (Part 2)

Is Christianity in the west dying? With deconversion stories and scandals making the headlines, some pundits think so. However, God’s plan was always to use imperfect people to grow his kingdom. Using Acts 13 as a backdrop, Lenny draws a distinction between the true church and the counterfeits that give Christianity a bad name. He then explores how many who claim the faith today are actually mistaking spirituality for true holiness.

That’s both right and wrong, for too many people look at the structures of the early church instead of the motivations and what consequences they bring.
