An American polling agency released some new statistics this month that paint a grim picture of the state of the Christian church. More and more we hear of Christians who are making their own decisions about what the Bible says, and what it means, rather than interpreting the Scriptures correctly and actually believing what it says.
Perhaps most concerning is the statistic that 1 in 3 "born-again" Christians say that they are confident that Jesus sinned while on earth. That statistic breaks my heart. Perhaps there is nothing more foundational to my faith than the truth that Jesus is the unblemished lamb that died - that I might be saved.
I encourage you all to read the article here (ignore the pesky advertisements on the site - they are distracting to me!) - we need to be well-informed - and in constant prayer for the state of our church. We need to be a church that holds to the solid truth that is found in God's Word - uncompromising, unashamed, and unwavering.
May God bless you this week as you seek to know His truth.
As always, I welcome your comments, opinions, thoughts and prayers! Please add them!!!
