Christian Worldview Crisis? Disturbing Reality Behind Shocking Stats
A veteran cultural researcher who has spent decades examining biblical worldview and the trajectory of the American church believes some alarming statistics should spark concerted action on the part of Christians. “Everybody has a worldview,” Barna told CBN Digital. “It’s basically the intellectual, moral, spiritual filter that each of us uses to make every decision that we make.”
This essential ingredient, he said, renders decision-making possible. Bible-believers who seek things through the lens of a Christian worldview are thus going “back to basic biblical principles, trying to understand what’s God’s perspective.” This, of course, makes Bible engagement and discipleship essential, as these sentiments comprise the baseline through which people build a Christian worldview.
“That’s why it’s important for Christians to know the Scriptures, so that, as we make those decisions, we’re consistent with what God’s calling us to do, and to be, and how to live,” Barna said. It’s through that study and understanding people are able to shape a God-honoring worldview — a subject the researcher tackles in his latest book “Raising Spiritual Champions: Nurturing Your Child’s Heart, Mind and Soul.”
“It’s not just about attending church,” Barna said. “It’s not just about owning and reading a Bible. It’s about wanting to be as Christlike as possible.” And with statistics showing just 2% of American parents of preteens have a biblical worldview, Barna is sounding some alarms that must be heeded.
Many people today have traded Gospel living for a paradigm under which they’re able to simply be a “good person.” He said this is something two-thirds of Americans have come to believe — and the consequences for the culture are profound. Watch Barna explain — and offer advice to parents for how to build a biblical worldview in their kids.
