Here are some "scary" facts for you
George Barna wrote The State of the Church in 2002. Barna conducted a survey of self-pronounced Christians and here's what he found about their knowledge of the Bible.
Now, remember these are Christians...
- 48% could not name the four Gospels.
- 52% cannot identify more than two or three of Jesus' disciples.
- 60% of American Christians can't name even five of the 10 Commandments.
- 61% of American Christians think the Sermon on the Mount was preached by Billy Graham.
- 71% of American Christians think "God helps those who help themselves" is a Bible verse.
Listen, you may or may not be an American, I don't know.
But the point is, you don't want to be a so called "Christian" but doesn't know what God's Word is.
You and I should consistently read, memorize, and meditate scriptures.
This way, we're ready to defend our faith and encourage others through God's Word.
If you feel some guilt with the message today then NOW is the time to change.
Get your Bible and start reading.
Good Morning!
