Pastor Dewey Moede: The American Church is very silent at this horrific time in our history. Just think! Did you ever think you would live in an America where just 4% of us have a Biblical Worldview? Just 37% of Pastors have a Biblical Worldview, SHAME! We are seeing the unraveling of America right before our eyes, everything from our Churches, schools, government, medical, etc……..MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW GOD’S WORD! 46% Of U.S. Adults Now Unchurched. So many Christians want to be entertained, not taught God’s Word, then to apply to their daily lives is another matter!
PS: Americas politics is killing the country! Same circus, different clowns.

It is not so much that our elite universities have allowed a spirit of vile Jew hatred to take root on their campuses. Instead, they have cultivated that very spirit, fueling its fires and finetuning its ideologies. The universities are complicit.
Ben Shapiro confirmed these sentiments, writing, “Open anti-Semitism has been on the rise for legitimately decades on campus. It was rife on campus when I was there 20 years ago. It’s particularly rife from the radical Muslim community, and it’s been fostered by a Left-wing college administration across campuses for two generations that believes in the intersectional hierarchy of victimhood, in which Muslims outrank Jews.” The Rest of The Story Here

When the news broke about the decline in American Pastors having a Biblical Worldview, Pastor Tony Tice posted this at FGGAM: We Need Pastors Who Will Be Humble Servants Instead Of Trying To Be The Next Great Church Leader!
Lets dive deep into a Biblical Worldview, which to me is this biggest crisis in the world at this time. Below is how Focus on the Family presents George Barna’s research that shows just 4% of Americans and only 37% of Pastors have a Biblical Worldview.
A Biblical worldview is based on the infallible Word of God. When you believe the Bible is entirely true, then you allow it to be the foundation of everything you say and do. That means, for instance, you take seriously the mandate in Romans 13 to honor the governing authorities by researching the candidates and issues, making voting a priority.
Do you have a biblical worldview? Answer the following questions, based on claims found in the Bible and which George Barna used in his survey:
- Do absolute moral truths exist?
- Is absolute truth defined by the Bible?
- Did Jesus Christ live a sinless life?
- Is God the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe, and does He still rule it today?
- Is salvation a gift from God that cannot be earned?
- Is Satan real?
- Does a Christian have a responsibility to share his or her faith in Christ with other people?
- Is the Bible accurate in all of its teachings?
This is from Barna
The research indicated that everyone has a worldview, but relatively few people have a biblical worldview – even among devoutly religious people. The survey discovered that only 9% of born again Christians have such a perspective on life. The numbers were even lower among other religious classifications: Protestants (7%), adults who attend mainline Protestant churches (2%) and Catholics (less than one-half of 1%). The denominations that produced the highest proportions of adults with a biblical worldview were non-denominational Protestant churches (13%), Pentecostal churches (10%) and Baptist churches (8%).
“If Jesus Christ came to this planet as a model of how we ought to live, then our goal should be to act like Jesus. Sadly, few people consistently demonstrate the love, obedience and priorities of Jesus. The primary reason that people do not act like Jesus is because they do not think like Jesus. Behavior stems from what we think – our attitudes, beliefs, values and opinions. Although most people own a Bible and know some of its content, our research found that most Americans have little idea how to integrate core biblical principles to form a unified and meaningful response to the challenges and opportunities of life. We’re often more concerned with survival amidst chaos than with experiencing truth and significance.” George Barna.
