Do you ever ask the question, when listening to a sermon, “where is the beef?” ”Where is the Bible?” Are you tired of hearing “Sermon Lite” Short Sermons with colorful video clips, plenty of illustrations and, funny stories, with a few Bible verses thrown in for good measure, that when you leave the service, you wonder did you really learn anything from the Bible, from God’s Word. You are not alone.
Biblical Worldview
One recent study of people attending church found that according to Barna Reasearch “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%).”
Why
Why do so few have a biblical worldview that claim to be Christians. I believe it is because we do not have Biblical Preaching in todays pulpit. The Apostle Paul warned us about this. 2Tim. 4:1-4 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”
At Saguaro Buttes we are committed to preaching the Bible Verse by Verse, Chapter by Chapter. We want a person who comes regularly to church services to learn “The Bible”. We want you to go away saying, ” I learned something today about the Scriptures”.
