As the Lukewarm Church Dies, the Remnant Rises

In a nation where cathedrals once thundered with the Gospel, a quiet collapse is underway. According to The Times of London, most non-believers in Britain today were raised in Christian homes—a staggering shift from a once-Christian culture to a spiritually barren generation. 

This is not simply secular drift—it is the bitter fruit of powerless religion. False doctrines, moral compromise, and the fear of offending popular culture have emptied the Western church of the supernatural God. What’s left is a cultural Christianity without the living Christ, a shell that cannot stand against the rising tide of deception.

This is exactly what Paul warned would come in the last days: “having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people” (2 Timothy 3:5). And Jesus Himself asked a haunting question we can now feel echoing across the Western world: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8).

It may seem that Christianity is dying—until we look beneath the surface. There is a stirring within the ashes.

The Times also reports a surge in Bible sales in Britain, driven by none other than Generation Z. While traditional churches continue to empty, young hearts are reaching not for ritual or entertainment, but revelation. Not for fog machines or TED talks, but the eternal, unfiltered Word of God.

This is the remnant.

Just as in Elijah’s day, when it seemed the whole nation had bowed to Baal, God reminded His prophet: “Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed to Baal” (1 Kings 19:18). In these days, the Lord is again calling forth those who will not bend to Babylon. These are not the lukewarm pew-sitters. They are the desperate ones—disillusioned with dead, man-made religion, hungry for holiness, awakened to the supernatural, and running hard after the Word.

So the disintegration of Britain’s major churches is not the failure of Christianity. It is the refining of it.

The fake will fall. The real will rise.

“Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens… so that what cannot be shaken may remain” (Hebrews 12:26–27).

In the days ahead, we will see the collapse of every institution that denies the ever-present supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. We’ll also see the quiet, unstoppable rise of those who fall in love with the Bible again—seeking Christ-likeness for themselves.

When the noise fades, and the church lights go out, the remnant will remain. Open Book in hand. Fire in their bones. And they’ll rise.
