		<description>Brett Blatchley said» it is becoming more difficult to find congregations that are friendly to those with a biblical worldview, and especially those who take end-times prophesy seriously.

That certainly is true. Many would be hostile or condescending toward those that are expecting the soon return of Jesus Christ and actually mention it. 

Local churches in many cases have become egocentric and Christians who understand that there are more important things in the Christian walk than building programs and all the staging are becoming fed up with the show. I find it very difficult to find a good church after I move to a new location and I have moved quite often.</description>

		<description>I think that the Church is beginning to go underground as they are being driven-out of the midst of those who like to think of themselves as &quot;The Church.&quot;

One major indication of this is that the Emergent Church and Seeker movements anointed themselves as the &quot;real&quot; evangelicals while they marginalize the real ones. From what I am reading, it is becoming more difficult to find congregations that are friendly to those with a biblical worldview, and especially those who take end-times prophesy seriously.

This trend will see a tremendous boost when the &quot;hate&quot; speech laws pass. (We are already seeing Christians persecuted in this way and the laws have not even been enacted yet.)

In our own case, we are looking for a new Church home (due to a recent relocation), and it is difficult to find a group who are solidly biblical without some of the unfortunate twists we&#039;ve come to see a lot.</description>

		<description>Quite right. There&#039;s a difference between reaching out to non-believers and focussing all your attention on non-believers at the expense of supporting the Christian community. I have friends who became Christians in one church and then moved to another church because the focus was too much on evangelism and not enough on strengthening their faith</description>
