Across Europe, churches stand empty as faith and church attendance shrink over the last decade. Over much of Europe’s Christian heartland from Germany to Italy and many nations in between.
The rapid emptying of church buildings, though, is only a symbol of Europe’s true spiritual decline. Its people, once overwhelmingly Christian and regularly in the pews on Sunday morning, have given up visibly observing their religion and are back to sinning.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work sin.

American pastors should pray and work to reverse Europe’s tide of spiritual loss of eternal life, cooperating especially with churches across the Atlantic to replant the Gospel in an evil society.
In Europe, they have a new religion of self.

Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
