RAPTURE…RAPTURE…ARE CHRISTIANS READY?
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 Christians all over the world can’t name even five of the 10 Commandments.
- When asking graduating high school "born again Christians" over 50% of them thought Sodom and Gomorrah were husband and wife.
- 61% of Christians all over the world think the Sermon on the Mount was preached by Billy Graham.
- 71% of Christians all over the world think "God helps those who help themselves" is a Bible verse.
No wonder George Barna said, "Americans revere the Bible but, by and large they don't know what it says. And because they don't know it, they have become a nation of Biblical illiterates."
We should be ready to defend our faith and encourage others through God's Word.
Listen, if you feel some guilt with the message today then TODAY is the time to change.
Get your Bible and start reading the scripture.
