I'm reading the article and think the author's talking about many in the churches that I know.

"Rather than standing out in ways that attracted unbelievers to the Lord, God’s people blended in and became part of the culture around them." (This sounds like many within the church)

"His purpose for the remnant was to do what the people as a whole had failed to do: take a stand in the land." (So now is this referring to those same churches? The ones whom have twindled down to nothing? The same ones who were referenced previously?)

Are you saying that we are part of those who: "Now we are reaping what we have sown.", or "You have been given a privileged place in the remnant church."?

It seems like 'they', are 'us'?
