The title of this message is seeing Life Clearly in the sanctuary of God. There is a widespread movement happening in American Christianity today. It is called deconversion. Deconversion is a movement of people who at one time profess Christianity, but at some point make a public profession to abandon Christianity.
It seems that not many months go by without somebody posting something on social media announcing that they have left Christianity. More troubling is that people who deconvert from Christianity, try to get other people to deconvert from Christianity. Case in 0.1 person who deconverted from Christianity wrote a blog post entitled 10 Steps of how to deconvert from Christianity. Here are just some of those steps.
He says, quote, actively read deconversion stories to recognize you are not alone in the process. 2, trust your doubts. And 3, if you have any non-believing friends, run to them. If not, there are plenty of online resources as well as a large community of nonbelievers, don't hesitate to ask for help.
Well, close quote. Hmm. This movement of deconversion from Christianity is a reminder that the fight of faith is real. Christians everywhere struggle with doubts about God and they are searching for answers, but they're searching for it in all the wrong places....
