Has God been taken off His throne?

For those of you who might have read yesterdays blog, I think I got my confirmation in some shape.

I received an article by someone that hadn't even read my blog, which stated that Roman Catholics are no longer the largest religion, they have been overtaken!

How times are changing - what does/will this now mean?

This is what the article stated;

"For the first time in history Islam has surpassed Roman Catholicism as the world's largest religion.

According to the Vatican statistical bureau the number of the world's population that are Muslims is 19.2%, with the number of Catholics trailing behind at 17.4%.

When considering all Christians and not just Roman Catholics, Christians make up 33 percent of the world population. The most recent figures from the Vatican have been published by the Vatican newspaper 'Osservatore Romano on March 30.

'For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top; Muslims have overtaken us,' Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview with the Vatican daily.

The figures on Muslims were put together by Muslim countries and then provided to the United Nations. The Vatican could only guarantee its own data, Formenti said.

The new statistics also shows that nearly half of the Roman Catholics Christians live in America"

So, we who call ourselves Christians - what are we doing about this, obviously we're not doing as much as the Muslims, or are we?

I once read a quote in Phil Walls book 'Holiness at war' which said something like "Jehovah's witnesses are totally committed to a half truth, where as we are half committed to the whole truth" - so what's going on there. I think it's time we wake ourselves up and to get serious about the truth!! Are you with me??

Let's go sick at telling the world about the amazing grace and truth, and freedom, and love, and purpose, and ... (ok, you get the picture), about Jesus!!

Time's running too short to be sitting back and leaving it all to someone else!

"We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty."
