The Barna Research group gathers statistics on Christian America and reported the following information in 2002:

85% of Americans claim to be Christian

8 out of 10 people consider themselves to be Christian

It’s apparent that many do not really have a relationship with Christ

A majority of these do not agree with the teachings of the bible

Many do not believe in spiritual beings, or in hell

How many people who don’t agree with the bible are going to do what is expected of them?

Dr. B.J. Miller once said, “It is a great deal easier to do that which God gives us to do, no matter how hard it is, than to face the responsibilities of not doing it!”
