Guinness told an audience at the Family Research Council in Washington that the church is weak because it's worldly, at a time when the world needs "a positive and persuasive alternative vision of human flourishing."
He said too many American Christians lack the "courage to be different and to clearly make a stand" in a culture that's increasingly disdainful if not hostile to Christianity.
Guinness said modern culture's comfortable relativism has done more to undermine Christianity "than all the persecutors in history put together."

Sounds good, indeed the church is weak and worldly, but I see no mention of Jesus, sin, repentance, reconciliation, the gospel or salvation. I also have a problem with his assessment of what the world needs. The world needs Jesus Christ, but somehow that fact seems to have slipped his mind.
I am not a fan of OG, but his voice is strong in many "christian" circles. Sad, since this is all he seemingly has to offer.
