The research suggests that nearly 40 percent of once-active Latter-day Saints in the United States have stepped away from Church participation over the past twenty-five years.

It is about thoughtful, sincere people striving to live with integrity-and the many believers who remain in the Church yet feel increasingly torn themselves.

So very wrong. Chapel Crest was an asylum moonlighting as a religious school.

Is it Too late for The Church? Two thousand years. Two billion believers. One fundamental deception. You've always known something wasn't quite right about The Church. About "The Gospel." About the notion that Christianity's ultimate purpose is getting people to believe in the right god, the right way, on the right team, in hopes of going to the right place when they die.

Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.
