I want to give you a shocking statistic. Barna reports that 83% of teenagers in our country believe moral truth depends on circumstances. Do you know what that means? It means that they don't believe that the Bible is the complete truth! Only 6% believe that moral truth is absolute!
Basically what this means that our young folks don't believe the Bible teaches correctly of how our morals should be. You know why? Media!!! They devil has used the media to get into our kids minds and train them to think sex is ok outside marriage, murder is ok, abortion is a woman's choice, God is not the only way, and the list goes on and on! My friends as parents and teachers of the word we are failing our kids! We must teach them God's word is the final sorce and only way! Period! I bet some of you are thinking well I bet churched kids are different. Look at this statistic....only 9% of born again teens believe in moral absolutes! This should make us want to cry! How sad and we are failing miserably.
Hebrews 4:12-13
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
My friends it is not just our teens who are questioning the word of God. We have churches full of people who question the turht of God's word. The proof is in how people are living their lives. If we truly believe God's word we live differently than the rest of the world. Look at the average member of the church....are they any different than your neighbor who doen't believe???
Think on what is being said here my brothers and sisters! We need revival in a mighty way and a return to the correct belief about God's word as being the ultimate truth. In all ages....0-100!
Pray, pray, pray!
