Understanding Quasi-Christianity in Modern Britain

The debate over the authenticity of recent spiritual events in Britain reveals a chilling truth: what masquerades as Christianity today is little more than a veneer. The rise of quasi-Christianity, exemplified by events like Unite the Kingdom, signifies a troubling spiritual decline, marked by a lack of true repentance and heart transformation among leaders.

Thus, we have no doubt that this recognition of a profound need for His saving help personally is the pre-cursor to the Church posturing herself in such a way so as to receive His sanctification corporately.
