91% of responses followed a uniform theme that the decline in traditional Christian moral and doctrinal teaching has caused the outflux of congregations. They listed the lack of apologetics, the reasoned defence and explanation of Christian doctrine, as one of the main reasons for the collapse. “It’s a myth today that the people of this country have rejected Christianity; they simply haven’t been told enough about it to either accept or reject it,” wrote one respondent.

Very nice. The minister at my church actually just started an apologetics series on Christ, which is a lot different than his normal message. I think that it really grabbed the congregations attention.

It wasn’t until I was 32 years old that I trusted Christ. Immediately, as a new believer at an older age, I understood how important apologetics should be in the Church. Since then, I’ve taught adult classes on apologetics and Church history at the two churches I’ve been a member of. But I still don’t think there’s enough stress to make the heart and the head agree.
