Jesus in a Dark Alley

Western civilization as we know it is crumbling, falling in big chunks all around us. The confusions and abominations are growing steadily and increasing rapidly. Meanwhile, there are piles of churches, especially in America, and millions of professing Christians, and yet apparently we are not salt and light. Apparently, we are powerless. We are chased by our enemies. We are fearful of the giants in the land. Which leads me to believe that we are mostly a bunch of Pharisees and scribes and hypocrites. We need a major reformation: we need lots of Christians to become Christians. We need lots of clean-cut, churchgoing folks to meet Jesus in a dark alley and have Him rough them up.
