Pastor Dewey Note: It was Pastor Errol Stepp, Church Planter and Founder of Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood, New Mexico, who told me a couple months ago of the research that shows only 7% of America goes to Church! It seems to me that America does not like to do math! From our Nation’s debt, to consumer debt, we ignore the math and what it equals, disaster. The American Church is bad at math also. Now Frank Haley of KDAZ AM730 brings us this report: America just marked its 239th Independence Day, the birth of what many consider the greatest nation on earth. But after all these years of celebrating, Americans may soon be mourning its downfall.
That’s the conclusion of researcher George Barna and historian David Barton.
These authors say the United States is entering its own version of the Dark Ages and that any civilization that’s gone where America’s headed now, has gone to ruin.
Barna said, “The founders gave us an amazing foundation,” “And for us to trample on it and say ‘we’re going to build a new one’ is folly.”
The authors point out those early Americans were shaped by the Bible and a Judeo-Christian worldview.
Barton went on to say, “They believed everybody should read through the Bible cover-to-cover once a year,” “That’s what they did in school in those times. That’s what political leaders did. Not today. We can’t even get Christians to read the Bible.”
Today only 30 percent of Christians read the Bible and less than 10 percent have read it from cover-to-cover. And it shows.
“Only 9 percent of born-again Christians have a biblical worldview.” Barna said, “Only 51 percent of pastors have a biblical worldview.”
Faith is losing its foothold in the USA.
That’s led to a get-it-all, have-it-all, do-it-all mentality that can pile up the kind of debt capable of killing a country.
Pastor Dewey Note: Math does not lie, America has broken the heart of God, not a good place to be. It was Pastor Ruben Gomez of Midland, Texas who told me just last week that the Church is plainly at fault for the downfall of America. My prayer constantly is, for Revival in America! I have not given up, We serve a God of miracles. We are to occupy until He returns! Amen! On August 14, 15 and 16 FGGAM will be holding a Revival in Reserve, New Mexico at the Baptist Church. We are going to show the love of Jesus to all! Love and accountability! Contact me for more info.
“Only 9 percent of born-again Christians have a biblical worldview.” Barna said, “Only 51 percent of pastors have a biblical worldview.” Where is the research he is citing this from? I have seen him quoted, but no one wants to cite the research he is referring too. These numbers mean nothing without evidence to back them up.
