The Church in the west has declined, not because of the world. For
the world has always been there and hated the righteous in God's sight.
It has declined because its has failed to submit to Christ, Her Husband,
of our her pride, arrogance and rebellion. This has not only lead to
all the problems in the modern Church in the west - it it the cause of
all the church problems in the modern Church. That is why God has not
used the western Church in advancing His Kingdom, but has turned
to the Church in the non-western world. The modern western Church has
made a fool out of herself by failing to submit to Christ, absolutely
and totally, only to give the world all kinds of excuses to mock, scorn
and hate her, and blaspheme God.
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the
church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church
submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in
everything (Ephesians 5:22-24).
Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything (Colossians 1:18).
