Passing Down the Faith
According to data developed by the Barna research group through 2009, only 50 percent of American adults think that Christianity is still the "automatic faith of choice" in the U.S. A majority of self-identified Christians surveyed indicated comfort with the idea that the Bible and sacred books from non-Christian religions all teach the same truths and principles. Seventy-one percent of respondents said they will develop their own religious beliefs rather than accept the set of beliefs promoted by a church or denomination. And, only one third believe in absolute truth. (Source: Baptist Press)
These are startling statistics that need our immediate attention and parents are the real key to turning things around. Our kids must see the reality of our living faith, if we expect them to want to follow our God.
