The scope of Christianity today has changed vastly over the past forty years and we are watching as Christian leaders are abandoning the convictions that led them into those positions to embrace the ideals that make them more popular with the masses. Our nation, once perceived as the leader in Christianity, has suffered from this change as those who fill our pews are lacking the spiritual depth that the saints who have gone on before us once had. There are some, such as Dr. David Jeremiah and Chuck Swindoll, who continue to push people towards a deeper spirituality and they are accompanied in this fight by this issue’s spotlight, Max Lucado.
He has become one of the most recognized pastors and one of the most accomplished writers in the world of Christianity. With each sermon and each book, Max listens to the word from the Lord and calls people to deepen their spiritual lives in a closer walk with Jesus. I recently caught up with Max to discuss his new book, 3:16, and to discuss faith in our culture today.
