Listen "#7| What Do People Mean When They Say They Are “Christian”? "
Episode Synopsis
In this episode I go through the American Worldview Inventory Release #6 from the Cultural Research Center under the direction of George Barna.
"The latest report from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University shows that the meaning of “Christian” in America today is far from monolithic, with a number of diverse and oftenconflicting theological views—even beliefs that are thoroughly unbiblical perspectives—among those who embrace the label. And these differences in beliefs often lead to widely divergent views on questions of morality and politics among American Christians, depending on how closely and consistently they are aligned with basic biblical teachings."

According to this report, most people who call themselves Christians are at best confused and deceived. It is my belief that Church leadership needs to engage with this research in order to know how to help the people seating in their pews. I also believe that after looking at this report, the American Church must put a lot more focus on local missions through evangelism and apologetics. This is because, your neighbor who identifies as a Christian, may have never had a real encounter with the King of Glory!
