https://churchanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Family-arriving-at-church.png1200628If you read any of my books or articles over the past few decades, you know I have a very high view of the local church. In my writings and presentations, I consistently remind people that, from Acts 2 to Revelation 3, the Bible is about the local church, written to the local church, or written in the context of the local church. If God through His Word considers the local church important, then we must also give it the same priority in our lives. However, a light bulb went on several months ago when I was doing the research and writing for my next book, The Anxious Generation Goes to Church (to be released in August 2025 from Tyndale). I was both amazed and encouraged to learn how much the non-Christian world wants local churches to be healthy. At least intuitively if not explicitly, the unchurched world understands the incredible value of churches in our society and culture. In an ironic twist, they have not embraced Christ as their Savior, but they have embraced His church as a beacon of hope.
