The Biggest Threat Facing the Church

(The following quote is in response to the question "What is the biggest threat facing the church today?")

"It’s going with the world rather than challenging the world, and so representing Christianity as if it’s a call to be the nicest people we can be in accepting the rules and expectations of our culture. But the truth is that Christians are not called to be 'nice' people in that way; we’re called to be obedient people and God’s rules challenge the whole system of our culture, which is drifting away from God very fast."
