The Crowds Are Gathering

Is it me or does Christianity seem to be on the rise? It appears that more younger people are turning to Christianity, than ever and that can only be a good thing.

Out of the 8 billion people on earth, there are over 3 billion Christians; representing 30.7% of the population.* It is the largest religion in the world.

However, Christianity is only projected to rise by 0.2 billion to 3.2 billion by 2060. This rather contradicts, that it appears to be on the rise. However, I believe Christians are starting to voice their thoughts on the present state of the world. Moreover, they are marching like the onward Christian soldier!

Islam is the second, largest religion with 1.9 billion in the world. Equivalent to 24.1% of the population. Muslims are the majority in 49 countries, speaking over a hundred languages. Islam will overtake Christianity by 2060. Whilst this is rather alarming, we must keep our faith in Jesus Christ.

Jesus foretold all the troubles we would encounter, here on earth. It is sometimes very hard to stay positive, with so much evil in the world. However, when we connect with Jesus's teachings, there is a calm that comes over me, personally, knowing that He is in control.

Until next time!

God bless.
