At the R & R Ranch we are dedicated to serving Christians and non-Christians alike through our music ministry and the church planting/building in Mexico. I've always thought the work was important but it didn't hit home how much until I read the chilling statistics from 2 recent polls by George Barna:
QUESTION ASKED: How many hold a Biblical Worldview?
ASKED TO: 2033 adults across the United States and 601 Senior Pastors across denominational lines
DEFINITION of Biblical Worldview:
* Absolute moral truths exist
* Truth is defined by the Bible
* Jesus lived a sinless life
* God is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe and He still rules it today
* Satan is real
* A Christian has a responsibility to share their faith in Christ with other people.
* The Bible is accurate in all of it's teachings
RESPONSE:
BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS: 9% held this Biblical worldview
SENIOR PASTORS: 51% held this Biblical worldview
MY QUESTIONS:
What are the other 49% of pastor teaching?
Why do the 91% of "born-again" people call themselves "Christians"?
