Two startling surveys segue perfectly into our interview this afternoon with Pete Briscoe about his new book, Belief Matters: Grappling With the Essentials of the Christian Faith<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A new survey just released by the Barna Group<\/a><\/strong> indicates than less than half of one percent of young adults age 18 – 23 hold to a biblical worldview, defined as believing that absolute moral truth exists, the Bible is completely accurate, Satan is a real being, a person cannot earn their way into Heaven, Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, and God is the all-powerful, all-knowing Creator of the world who still rules the universe today. Just as disturbing, the Barna survey reveals that only 9% of those who claim to be “Born Again” hold to a worldview that could be considered biblical.<\/p>\n

Couple those stats with Trinity College’s just released American Religious Identification Survey<\/a><\/strong>. Albert Mohler writes<\/a><\/strong>, “By any mesasure, the study reveals an increasing secularization of society. The percentage of Americans identifying as unaffiliated with any religious group or denomination has risen sharply (from 8% in 1990 to 15% in 2008). In fact, the unaffiliated now outnumber all but Catholics and Baptists.”<\/p>\n

Pete Briscoe, pastor of Bent Tree Bible Fellowship<\/a><\/strong> in Carrollton, Texas and one of the keynote speakers at WLQV’s Pastor’s Appreciation Event<\/a><\/strong> coming up Wednesday, April 29, will be my guest today at 4:00 pm ET.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
