The Great Shift – Changing Christian Demographics Around The World

One of the major religion-related news headlines today revolves around the decline of Christianity in North America. Western Europe is now considered post-Christian and surveys consistently report declines in religious belief, attendance, and self-identification.


Yet, over the last century, there has been a pronounced shift of Christianity from the Global North to the Global South, with dramatic growth of Christian populations in places like sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia. 


This phenomenon appears to be continuing in the 21st century. This article provides a nuanced analysis to a big, global question about the world’s largest religion: is it shrinking, or is it shifting?


The World Christian Encyclopedia, 3rd edition, 2 helps to answer this question by presenting a portrait of Christianity that is truly global. By ‘truly global’ we mean in the sense that Christianity is present in every country and among many peoples, but more fundamentally in its contextualization in the world’s cultures and its engagement with the rest of humanity.


Africa became the continent with the most Christians in 2018, surpassing Latin America (which surpassed Europe in 2014). This marks a milestone for African Christianity and raises several important issues related to Christianity’s shift to the South.


Are Christian resources also shifting? Is theological writing shifting? Are global histories of Christianity being written?

Does every vote count in California?

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The mantra by the left in the past election of every vote counts seems to ring hollow in the lot of new evidence coming out to California. it seems the Democratic Party is up in arms about the recent recall vote against governor Newsom. Oh they have plenty of petition signatures in the affirmative to have a vote whether to retain the governor or not. But it seems now they are concerned that illegals might have signed the petition, or people that are not at the proper residence, so now they want to make sure that every signature is a legal voter. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the Democratic Party adopted that for every state and federal election in the United States?

The hypocrisy is mind boggling.

Media and Mind Control

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

I have put a self-imposed fast on watching or listening to any main stream media. Since the election I pretty much go to websites and people that I trust to get what little news that I get. I’m just sick and tired of the main stream media lying constantly and using psychological tricks to try to control the population. The media has an agenda, it is a far left wing Nazi agenda. It’s funny how they call conservatives Nazis. The Nazi party was a left-wing socialist group. They banned and burn books, they confiscated weapons, they put unorthodox rules and laws into affect to control the people in Germany. I am a Christian conservative I am not a Nazi and just because I love our country and want to put it first in the world doesn’t mean I’m a nationalist. A strong America makes for a strong world. We are the last great hope for democracy in this world. With God’s help we will keep it. But it will not be easy.

New State Abortion Laws Put Supreme Court Under the MicroscopePro-life reforms in Arkansas, Montana, Arizona raise direct challenge to Roe precedent

Graham Piro – MARCH 24, 2021 1:40 PM

A bevy of state laws restricting abortion are ratcheting up the pressure on the Supreme Court to reconsider the lawfulness of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.

Arkansas passed a sweeping ban on any abortion performed in the state with an exception for those performed to save the health of the mother. The law marks the latest in a line of states considering or passing legislation intended to chip away at legal access to abortion. Pro-life advocates say that a conservative majority on the Supreme Court represents an opportunity for a post-Roelandscape in which abortion laws are returned to state governments, rather than established by the the federal judiciary. Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson (R.) said that his state’s legislation is directly intended to prompt the court to reevaluate Roe. “I signed it because it is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade,” Hutchinson said. “I think there’s a very narrow chance that the Supreme Court will accept that case, but we’ll see.”

USA Today Looks to Bounce ORU from NCAAEveryone loves an underdog. Well, almost everyone. While the rest of the country rallies around Oral Roberts University, cheering on the Cinderella of this year’s NCAA basketball tournament, USA Today says the slipper doesn’t fit. The small Tulsa college is evangelical, they announce, as if it’s news. That means they believe the Bible. And if they believe the Bible, an editor argues, there should be no place for them on the court — or anywhere else in polite society.

Obviously the elitist are nuts. They are the bigots. I found a new team to root for. Go ORU!!

Gov. Kristi Noem Betrays Conservatives, Embraces RINO Wing of GOP | Todd Starnes

The Republican governor is getting backlash from conservatives for sending the bill back to the legislature Friday via a “style and form” veto.

“Unfortunately, as I have studied this legislation and conferred with legal experts over the past several days, I have become concerned that this bill’s vague and overly broad language could have significant unintended consequences,” Noem said in a letter rejecting the bill.

All of this could very well be true. But my concern is she knew what the bill was a couple of weeks ago when she was excited to sign it. Now not so much. It also makes you wonder if someone didn’t get to her big business Amazon NCAA Chamber of Commerce etc. She’s not who I thought she was. She should have just cost herself any hope of a 2024 run for the presidency. She is definitely not ready, regardless of why she changed her mind. Moral conservatives like myself do not like waffling flip flopers.

The Democrat proposal now pending in Congress called the Equality Act “explicitly targets” the Bible with its provisions that erase any allowance for differences between men and women, warns Yaakov Menken, the managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values.
