A refreshing op/ed piece in today's Wall Street Journal by John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge of the Economist highlights a number of statistics which should buoy the spirits of all Christians during this Easter season.
- Three-quarters of Americans consider themselves Christians
- A fifth of the "atheists" in a recent Pew Survey said that they believed in God
- The largest megachurches attract tens of thousands of people
- The authors estimate that there are maybe 100 million Christians in China
- More Chinese attend church each Sunday than there are members of the Communist Party
God is alive and at work in the world!
