Does it Matter What We Believe?


A recent report by the Barna group indicated that there is a significant difference in the way Evangelical Christians act and the rest of Americans. They discovered that 74% of Evangelical Christians do not use profanity, 88% don't view pornography, 95% don't gossip, 97% are not engaging in inappropriate sex and 99% do not lie or engage in drunkenness. On the other hand 60% of atheists and agnostics use profanity, 50% view pornography, 34% gossip and 33% are engaged in drunkenness. Those from other faiths are twice as likely as evangelical Christians to use profanity, view pornagraphy and lie. If you are interested in the full article from the Barna Group, click on the link given below. It really does matter what you believe!




John 17:20-23
I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
John 17: 20-23
