Form Without Substance, Salt Without Savor

Another line that struck me, though more than this sole line is needed for context: "Unless the early sacrificial spirit is recaptured, I am very much afraid that today's Christian church will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and we will see the Christian church dismissed as a social club with no meaning or effectiveness for our time, as a form without substance, as salt without savor. "

Is this an accurate description of what has happened to the church over the past 40 years? If so, is this a coincidence, or a result?
