11 Ways American Culture Has Infected the American Church | Matt

Dabbs

"Americanized Christianity has some real issues that are particular to our culture here in America. The church in every nation has some issues with blending culture into faith. In some ways it is natural but when it undermines biblical principles and teachings then we need to repent and make some serious changes. I am afraid that in some instances this line has been crossed.

This video outlines 11 ways that line can be crossed and is being crossed. I encourage you to take inventory of your own heart first and then take an honest look at where you gather on Sunday and assess the health of things.

This should bring us to repentance and prayer for help, boldness and direction to be more aligned with God, the Gospel and the ways of Jesus.

We need the Spirit's help on this one! Here are the 11 things:
