I don't think we're a christian nation anymore, but even sadder is the fact that most christians today are biblically illiterate.

i agree, we're not the Christian nation people want to claim. it is sad that people frame their faith around 'spiritual fiction.' i can't count how many folks i've met who have claimed to be strongly impacted by 'left behind.' at least dan brown doesn't claim his stuff is theology, but won't say it's fiction either.

It sure would be something!

Was intrigued by your "My preaching style..." entry, so I thought I'd read more. You're absolutely right. I'd estimate that over 90% of church people are biblically illiterate. As a result, people are feeding their spiritual hunger with whatever sound reasonable to a logical mind. That's why peole can buy into "Left Behind" as if it really is the Gospel of the second coming. That's why Dan Brown's novel is causing people to question if the Bible really is true. That's why this coming Gospel of Judas is being hyped like crazy, and people will buy it hook, line, and sinker.

We've got to give our people back their biblical heritage. We've got to start teaching them good Scriptural knowledge ever week.
