More evidence of the season. - If you are a Christian in a leadership role in your church, you need to read this news item. I find it nightmarish and disturbing.
Religious Americans: My faith isn't the only way.
Among the more startling numbers in the survey, conducted last year by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life: 57 percent of evangelical church attenders said they believe many religions can lead to eternal life, in conflict with traditional evangelical teaching. In all, 70 percent of Americans with a religious affiliation shared that view, and 68 percent said there is more than one true way to interpret the teachings of their own religion.
Reading further into the article it became increasingly obvious to me that a large portion of religious Americans (or at least those polled) are at best "Christian" in name only or at worse "lukewarm".
Jesus, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” (Re 3:15-16 NIV)
The Great Separation continues.
