WHY CHRISTIANITY MIGHT FADE AWAY !!!
In the beginning I must tell all of you, I am a Christian myself. Not exactly a devout one but I try to live my life on the values of Christ. Like so many of people around, I too get less and less of time to read Bible and reflect on it. As I schedule my life and tasks, events and appointments in my cellphone using Google Calendar, I thought there must be some way to have daily bible verses on my cellphone every morning. I started looking for suitable iCal file.
To my horror, I found that that there is almost ‘NO’ such calendar available on net which is ‘FREE’. Every body has made Bible some commodity to $ell and mint money. Then I wondered, is it only the one-off case for iCal files? I surfed a bit more and found out that even Bible and other stuff related to faith were on sale. Heck, these guys have commercialized even Jesus. It has become a brand. Lord Jesus would be shedding tears of agony over such greedy people.
Just look at muslims. They dont commercialize Allah (SWT). Nobody can even dream of doing it. So much literature related to Islam and its teachings are available freely to download. You can even download 1000s of wallpapers related to Islam. This is the reason, Islam is spreading in every corner of the world and Christianity is loosing its charm.
I adore Jesus and pray that some good sense prevails among the Christians and they follow the true path of our Lord.
Amen.

Unfortunately your right. Believers have commercialized Jesus to the point that walking into a “Christian” bookstore is painful to bear. Consumer Christianity doesn’t work in America or anywhere for that matter. In China where the church is persecuted and believers have to meet in secret houses Christianity is flourishing. Guess where my bible was printed?

Church is flourishing in the so called ‘Dark places’ like East/South Asia, Africa etc whereas Americans, Europeans are acting like modern day Pharisees and all the grand buildings of Churches all across the west are running empty!
