Every time I turn on the TV, read a newspaper, or puruse the blogosphere I see stories of major financial losses, families losing their jobs and houses, and the world economy slowly decending into hell. Several days ago, several newspapers and TV news shows reported on anctedotal increases in church across the country; however, the truth is that recent polling indicates no such increase.
In fact, church attendance is among the lowest measured levels in years.
Americans may not be attending church more in these ever darkening days, but it doesn’t necessary mean that they are relying on God any less than before. I would imagine that people all over the world are finding themselves praying more and more these days.
Times are bad, but it’s not the end of the world.
