Kid Rock says he didn't get saved. So what does it mean to be a Christian in today's America?

In light of Kid Rock's upcoming, self-described Christian album, Halfway 2 Jesus, is America embracing the Jesus of Scripture—or a new, culturally acceptable Jesus who demands little and changes nothing?

In this compelling episode of Concerning The Times, Howard Green examines Kid Rock's public statements, America's growing fascination with celebrity Christianity, and the biblical truth about repentance, salvation, and being born again.

The Christian life isn't easy, and everyone who wants to follow Jesus must count the cost. Finishing well and enduring to the end should be the goal of every believer who longs to hear Jesus say these words to us, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

Nearly 60 million men and women will die around the world this year. Using Jesus' statistics, most of them will die unsaved and enter eternity in hell. As Jesus' followers, we must do everything possible to *warn people and reach them with the good news. This is a call to a biblical sense of urgency.

Christian churches in America are in imminent danger and don't realize it. Most churches boast of growing attendance, relevance, and success, yet the glory and Spirit of God departing from our gatherings is a reality. Drastic change is critical; or we risk Jesus’ words to the Laodicean church happening to us: "I will spit you out of my mouth." Let's look together at the absolute worldly nightmare most American churches have become and restore our local fellowships through repentance and humility. It's time to stop business-as-usual church and give the glory to God, not ourselves.

End-time Bible prophecy is the most debated topic among Christians in all of scripture. Healthy debate is good, but a dangerous, unbiblical precedent is being set. End-time Bible prophecy is being attacked from within the church by supposed shepherds. Let’s look at the deception that Jesus and the apostles warned us would come.
