A cloud of dust billows behind Maarten Janse’s tractor as he spreads a mixture of compost, straw and manure over a field to nourish the parched soil.

Mr. Janse’s farm on the fertile land of the Netherlands’ southwestern Zeeland Province is drying out despite his efforts to make it more drought resistant.

The drought that is roasting much of Europe this summer is taking a heavy toll on crops across the continent, from potatoes in the Netherlands to corn in Bosnia and grapes in Italy. Even when farmers try to adapt, the extreme weather is hitting their crops and water supplies.

Imagine Jesus Christ physically living on Earth today. He decides to do some sightseeing while visiting a large city. Walking past a church building, He hears a piano playing softly and decides to step inside the church’s entryway to take a look.

Would this church hold up to scrutiny from the Person whose name is used by Christianity?

In the world of churchgoers, adherents are encouraged to attend the congregation of their choice. Among the kaleidoscope of options are traditional, evangelical, charismatic, full gospel, healing gospel, Pentecostal, freewill, “spirit-led,” outreach ministries, mega-sized and non-denominational. Millions attend thousands of these different sects and denominations, which share certain beliefs, but have many more disagreeing and competing teachings.
