The crisis within Christianity is no longer comes from prosperity gospel or even Charismatics vs conservative. But i think the crisis comes from relativeness. That all paths leads to the same destinations and all religions are the same, there is no right or wrong
For prosperity gospel, people will soon find out when life take a down turn to them. but for relativativism is not that simple, because it is not something that can be proven wrong. it is diplomatically correct to be a relativist so the society encourage that kind of behaviour. however this would make the sharing of gospel difficult because gospel is an offense to many; telling people that Jesus is the only way and whoever do not believe is going to hell. That is not only perceive by many as arrogant, it is downright outrageous because they cannot conceive in their minds a loving God would send people to hell.
Unless the church takes an active role in addressing the issue of post modernism. The church would be seen by non Christians as a bunch of conservative moralist who judge the world by their own standards, hypocrites at best. Just fear that the church that i am seeing still battling with so call the prosperity teaching rather than not seeing the real crisis from the outside.
