After I wrote this I wept for the Church in America……..
How dare you New Mexico go against God’s Children!
Biblical education without Biblical action is entertainment. What is an example of Biblical action? Leaving your walls and carrying out the Great Commission and also baptisims! Glory!
Many folks that have left the Church tell me and Sharon ‘”The Church does not make much of a difference in our lives or in our country.” They see how America has gone to hell .
I am not popular here in New Mexico, as I do not sell ice cream……HA! TRUTH! I have come to comfort the inflicted and to inflict the comfortable! That is my calling from God.
I am very sick and tired of New Mexico being last in child-well being! I have been seeing right before my eyes the total breakdown of New Mexico since we moved here in 1995. Back them we were told the casinos would save out school and roads! HA! LIE! What is so very frustrating we have Churches all over the state, even in our smallest communities. Here in Albuquerque about every street corner! New Mexico also kills God’s babies through abortion. Abortions more than triple in New Mexico. What really irks me is that about a years ago a top GOP member in the legislature told me, “I do not see abortion ending here.” Has the GOP given up? New Mexico also allows the total dysfunctional government agency CYFD to exists! I would not trust the CYFD to take care of my squirrel! 46 reports and 22 investigations: CYFD faces lawsuit over alleged mishandling of child abuse case
Both the DEMS and GOP have had their chances of changing tearing down CYFD and starting over, but they both have failed us! I do not support either party, they both are so very dysfunctional! We had a GOP governor for 8 years, from 2011 to 2019. She did nothing to help end abortion or the of dysfunctional CYFD. One more reason I do not support the GOP. The DEMS are worse! It just gets worse here. More Here
What is wrong people of God? George Barna research shows that just 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview. I pray that Barna will do a state by state research project. I expect New Mexico to reflect the national report of just 4%.
I am so very puzzled by the people of New Mexico. Is New Mexico anti-God? If not, why all the evil? Is your Church being effective in changing lives for JESUS? George Barna: “People have become more selfish, churches have become less influential, pastors have become less Bible-centric”
New Mexico has a lot of what I call, ‘High school pep rallies’ lots of prayer, but not much repentance. The blood of God’s babies are on all of our hands! Lots of talk and egos’ here and all over America. EGO strands for edging God out! My hero is Paul of the Bible, they cut off his head……..I am not afraid of going against the flow here, or what we used to call, ‘going against the grain.’ I am here to fulfill the mission God gave me and Sharon almost 12 years ago, shine the light of Jesus Christ to one person at a time. We also do not serve inside walls, the world is our mission field! I have seen too many DEAD churches over the last few years. I will not go back! The Holy Spirit is not there! Some have not baptized anybody for years!!!!!! YES YEARS! Too many buildings with so few people. I say make them ‘help centers’ for hurting people. Food, water, showers and a bed, AND ONE ON ONE MINISTRY!
When the news broke about the decline in American Pastors having a Biblical Worldview, Pastor Tony Tice posted this at FGGAM: We Need Pastors Who Will Be Humble Servants Instead Of Trying To Be The Next Great Church Leader!
Lets dive deep into a Biblical Worldview, which to me is this biggest crisis in the world at this time. Below is how Focus on the Family presents George Barna’s research that shows just 4% of Americans and only 37% of Pastors have a Biblical Worldview.
A Biblical worldview is based on the infallible Word of God. When you believe the Bible is entirely true, then you allow it to be the foundation of everything you say and do. That means, for instance, you take seriously the mandate in Romans 13 to honor the governing authorities by researching the candidates and issues, making voting a priority.
Do you have a biblical worldview? Answer the following questions, based on claims found in the Bible and which George Barna used in his survey:
- Do absolute moral truths exist?
- Is absolute truth defined by the Bible?
- Did Jesus Christ live a sinless life?
- Is God the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe, and does He still rule it today?
- Is salvation a gift from God that cannot be earned?
- Is Satan real?
- Does a Christian have a responsibility to share his or her faith in Christ with other people?
- Is the Bible accurate in all of its teachings?
This is from Barna
The research indicated that everyone has a worldview, but relatively few people have a biblical worldview – even among devoutly religious people. The survey discovered that only 9% of born again Christians have such a perspective on life. The numbers were even lower among other religious classifications: Protestants (7%), adults who attend mainline Protestant churches (2%) and Catholics (less than one-half of 1%). The denominations that produced the highest proportions of adults with a biblical worldview were non-denominational Protestant churches (13%), Pentecostal churches (10%) and Baptist churches (8%).
“If Jesus Christ came to this planet as a model of how we ought to live, then our goal should be to act like Jesus. Sadly, few people consistently demonstrate the love, obedience and priorities of Jesus. The primary reason that people do not act like Jesus is because they do not think like Jesus. Behavior stems from what we think – our attitudes, beliefs, values and opinions. Although most people own a Bible and know some of its content, our research found that most Americans have little idea how to integrate core biblical principles to form a unified and meaningful response to the challenges and opportunities of life. We’re often more concerned with survival amidst chaos than with experiencing truth and significance.” George Barna.

We are one of the most sick, depressed, anxious and stressed-out cultures in the world — and yet we are obsessed with longevity. It seems odd that we are obsessed with lifespan, but the quality of our life is usually, well, sucky? (Yes, that’s a medical term.) So what’s keeping us obsessed with trying to stay alive longer when we have yet to determine what would comprise our best life? More Here From Dr. David Weill
