You may well know the Barna research group…it’s a company that surveys Christian people and groups and comes up with data on worldview and such. And the numbers are currently…
Extra depressing lol
4 percent of people in the USA have a biblical worldview. Born again Christians…9 percent. Non denominational Protestant groups 13 Pentecostal 10 and Baptist 8.
The Barna group is doing its best to empower churches
️ to cultivate a biblical worldview in members. I’m all for it but….
Didn’t Jesus Christ say that there would be a great falling away? And a great apostasy? And…
From day 1 wolves in sheep’s clothing and the wheat and the tares and….
Many are called but few are chosen.

Remember Billy graham? Lots of good intentions…lots of crusades for Christ…
What percentage of people who made an emotional decision for Christ do you think became long term believers?

where people put Christian stickers etc in everything.

I’m not saying calm down and let it happen but…
God gives the increase. And the love of many shall grow cold
….
Sort if a rambling post. Just stuff that’s been on my mind lately…
Thanks!
