“…who will go for Us?” Isaiah 6:8
In a vision, Isaiah responded to God’s call to deliver His message to Israel. Likewise, the church has been commissioned to take the Good News of redemption in Jesus Christ to the world (Matthew 28:19-20).
The twenty-first century has taken a toll on the Church’s ability to do that.
The Gallup polling organization reported in March this year that American church membership fell to 47% in 2020, the lowest since Gallup began tracking the statistic in 1937. Church membership was 70% at the turn of the century.
