10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,
(Matthew 24)
Europe is a hugely diverse place in terms of culture, language and especially religion. The European Social Survey 2014-2016 found that across the continent, there is a huge difference in the share of young people identifying as having no religion.
Statista's Niall McCarthy reports that the research found that the youth in Poland are still quite religious with only 17 percent of respondents aged 16-29 not associating themselves with any religion.
The situation is much different in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands where 7 out of 10 young adults identify as having no religion.
Where does the US score in this graff
ReplyDeleteMy mom and dad were born in Estonia. They had to flee during WW2. I am so happy I was born in the USA and in the South where a church is on every corner. We need to pray for these young people. Open the hearts and eyes of the people Lord. We await your return!
ReplyDeleteMark - I think its a mixed bag...I know there are churches around me that are exploding and are preaching the gospel - OTOH I know of very lukewarm churches but they seem to be dying as the true gospel/evangelical places seem to be doing very very well..But I don't know about other parts of the country as much
ReplyDeleteAgree Ellen - hope we never have to flee the US prior to the gathering up
