The question I have what about a Biblical Worldview? Many folks who call themselves Christians, may not have a Biblical Worldview. I will love to see what George Barna says about this! I encourage you to watch the George Barna video. I have also posted below what a Biblical Worldview is.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans who identify as Christian has declined steadily for years, but that drop shows signs of slowing, according to a new survey Wednesday from the Pew Research Center.
The Religious Landscape Study finds 62 percent of U.S. adults call themselves Christians. While a significant dip from 2007, when 78 percent of Americans identified as Christian, Pew found the Christian share of the population has remained relatively stable since 2019.
The rapid rise of the religiously unaffiliated — the so-called ” nones ” — has also reached at least a temporary plateau, according to Pew. Approximately 29 percent of U.S. adults identify as religiously unaffiliated, including those who are atheist (5 percent), agnostic (6 percent) or “nothing in particular” (19 percent).
“It’s striking to have observed this recent period of stability in American religion after that long period of decline,” said Pew’s Gregory Smith, one of the study’s co-authors. “One thing we can’t know for sure is whether these short-term signs of stabilization will prove to be a lasting change in the country’s religious trajectory.”
By some measures, the U.S. remains overwhelmingly spiritual. Many Americans have a supernatural outlook, with 83 percent believing in God or a universal spirit and 86 percent believing that people have a soul or spirit. About 7 in 10 Americans believe in heave, hell or both.
Young adults less religious than their elders
Despite this widespread spirituality, there are harbingers of future religious decline. Most notably, Pew found a huge age gap, with 46 percent of the youngest American adults identifying as Christian, compared to 80 percent of the oldest adults. The youngest adults are also three times more likely than the oldest group to be religiously unaffiliated.
“These kinds of generational differences are a big part of what’s driven the long-term declines in American religion,” Smith said. “As older cohorts of highly religious, older people have passed away, they have been replaced by new cohorts of young adults who are less religious than their parents and grandparents.”
WHY SO MUCH EVIL??? Don’t just “play church.” Take action.
“So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts” Eph 4: 17, 18.
The Scriptures call the mind of the natural man “blinded” 2 Cor. 4:4, “depraved” Romans 1:28, “corrupt” 1 Tim. 6:5, and “unspiritual” Col. 2:18. The natural mind thinks from a humanistic, sin-debased viewpoint. The viewpoint of the flesh directs its thoughts. The sinful mind is under the control of Satan and can never please God because it concentrates on things of the world and not things of the Spirit. The natural mind walks the road of hopelessness and self-destruction.

Just 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview! JUST! 37% of Pastors in America have a Biblcial Worldview! Do you not see???? This is why we are going to hell as a country!
What’s 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?
Did you answer yes to these? Only 9 percent of “born- again” believers did. But what’s more important than your yes to these questions is whether your life shows it. Granted, we are all sinners and fall short, but most of our gut reactions will reflect what we deep-down, honest-to-goodness believe to be real and true.
So many Americans have become fools! Foolish and evil behavior is spreading like wildfire all over!
