Thanks so much for being here. I do know you have a choice on where you can listen each and every day, and I think he would soon right here to generation radio well trying to reach Mr. Barnett but it looks like maybe he's not available today so we shall press on a lot. Let me let me look it a little couple of the highlights for you on this because I do think that it is important so self identified Christians, 69% or 176 million adults, 79% believe that God has a reason for everything. 77. Having a unique, God-given calling, let's see 74 say they intentionally try to avoid sinning because they know it hurts God to go the largest variant okay larger population embraces biblical principles of truth, for instance, art.

72% claim that every moral choice either honors or dishonors God 62% agreed that the universe was designed and created and sustained by God.

61% believe that God is the all-knowing, all-powerful, perfect and just creator of the universe is still rules the universe today, but the group entertains a wide range of perspectives that are not in harmony with biblical teaching, such as 72% argue that people are basically good. We know the Scripture tells us that men manner are born with with wickedness in their heart there born with a sin nature covered that a little bit. My first hour.

I'll get into that in a minute. So don't go anywhere. Folks 71% consider feelings experience or the input of friends and family is the most trusted source of moral guidance.

In other words, human beings replace God in determining what is good what is right and what is wrong. Okay now it's flying to go to and it will only continue to 66% say that having faith matters more than which faith you pursue 64% say that all religious faiths are of equal value, 58%, that if a person is good enough or does enough good things they can earn their way into heaven. 58% contend that the Holy Spirit is not real, a living being, but it's merely a symbol of God's power, presence or purity. In other words, they they denied the third person of the Trinity.

I have to express to you that blaspheming the Holy Spirit is the one sin that that Scripture tells us is unforgivable. Put that out there. 57% believe in karma.

52% claim that determining moral truth is up to each individual. There are no moral absolutes that apply to everyone all the time. So that's interesting self identified born-again Christian, 78% believe that the marriage of one man one woman is God's plan for humanity across cultures. 72% believe that God is the all-knowing, all-powerful and just creator the universe. 60% believe the Bible is accurate and reliable words of God but 77% say that having faith matters more than which faith you pursue. This is born-again. They claim to be born again 69% except feelings experience in the input of friends, 65% say there's no absolute moral truth. 62% contend the Holy Spirit is not real.

61% say they're all religious faiths are of equal value, and 60% believe that if a person is good enough or does enough good they can earn their way into heaven, so what would that talk about.

Well let's say maybe it talks about grace. I talked with the chaps about this in our first segment in in in which the of the idea that you may have heard the saying, well, I'm just a sinner saved by grace we really read some some scriptures to you and see if you still think that that is an accurate statement. Romans chapter 6 verse one what shall we say then shall we continue in sin that grace may abound now to go to an AA meeting, they'll have you stand up at the beginning of the meeting and say my name is the size of my name is Greg and I'm an alcoholic. I'm not ever was.

But that's what they would have you say okay so they would have you declare that now is the purpose of that is is that before you can fix the problem you have to identify the you have a problem and that's the confession and I get that. However, Scripture says this okay what shall we say then shall we continue in sin that grace may abound, God forbid. How shall we say that, how shall we, how shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein. Repeat that again. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death, that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the father. Even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection. Knowing this, knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that hence forth, we should not serve sin, for he that is dead is freed from sin. So what happened to sin. Where did it go, what was the, the, the, the purpose and and that and the transformation that took place that according to George Barna's research is dismissed. It's it's it's it's not it's not in view. Instead what is identified is well know what were going to do is is were going to listen organic consider the feelings experience or the input of friends and family to make our moral guidance decisions and it doesn't really matter what faith you pursue as long as you have some kind of faith that's all going to be okay but this scripture here makes it very clear that a Christians theology is that there is only one way into heaven. John 14 six I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except by me. No one comes to the father except by me. Now you let's let's put that legislator that out there and and and give it some some constant perspective. Okay, if Jesus Christ is the son of God.

If, if that is true.

If we if we believe that that is true, and as a Christian.

Well that that's that's the very first thing that we believe right, we say that Jesus is the son of God and therefore what he says when he says it he can't be lying. He must be telling the truth. So Jesus said in John 14 six Thomas asked him, he says, Lord, we we know not whether thou goest and and how can we know the way living illegally back up a bit. Let not your heart be troubled you believe in God believe also in me.

In my father's house there are many mansions if it were not so I would've told you.

I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you and to myself that where I am, there ye may also be and whether I go you know and the way you know and Thomas a late minute we don't know we don't know the way.

And so Jesus makes this statement to declare the way I am the way, the truth and the life. Nowhere in that translation that context is. I am a way I am a truth or I am a live no-no. He says I am the way, I am the truth I am the life and then he makes this concrete statement in case there was any confusion about what he just said no man comes to the father but by me. You can't get to God any other way. Jesus Christ is it not Mohammed, not Gandhi, not Buddha.

No other way. Jesus Christ is it and then the good news. And this is what I was bringing forward to in our in our first hour and it's so important I'm coming back to it why my coming back to it because look if if if there's a seed there's there if there's a seed in the population and and that's what this study is is is telling us that there is a a seed in the population that that 7/10 of adults have adopted the label of Christian to identify their faith.

176 million adults.

We've got 89 million self identified as born-again 71 million self identified as evangelical 71 million that identify themselves as theologically born-again and then 15 million that have a biblical worldview integrated disciples is what they referred to in this study. That's the smallest percentage of individuals okay so the Bible is accurate and reliable. The integrated disciples.

99% determining moral truth and determine what truth is up to each individual. There are no moral absolutes that apply to everyone all the time.

Only 25% of integrated disciples agree with that 65% of born-again and 65% of evangelicals agree with that and 52% overall. God is the all-powerful, all-knowing, perfect and just creator of the universe who rules the universe.

99% of integrated disciples believe that having faith matters more than which faith you have only 42% of integrated disciples believe that 77% of born-again 74% of evangelicals your most trusted her primary source of moral guidance is your feelings, experiences of the vice of friends or family. Only 4% of integrated disciples agree with that statement, but 69% of born-again and 65% of evangelicals. Folks there's a problem with that.

That's why there's been this embrace of the idea that I am a sinner saved by grace, I'm a sinner saved by grace at the it's a lie you're not because a sinner saved by grace means that you are going to continue to struggle with your sins and Paul has written very clearly hear what happens.

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin okay now listen to me very carefully when I tell this to you. It's not. This is not an onus on you.

This is not me pastor Greg saying oh okay so what are you saying if I sent him. I'm not saying know what I'm saying is, is that if you are still caught in that sin. If you're still struggling that then you've not fully gotten a hold of the incredible gift that God gave you and the power of the cross of Jesus Christ and I'm so I'm not I'm not bringing a message to condemn you or or or even maybe necessarily to convict you. I am bringing you the true message of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the message of hope. How do I overcome with everything happening in the world today. All of the temptations that exist in the world today, and as wicked and cruel as all of that is how to why walk out this belief. I understand why people say wills long as you've got some kind of faith because the reality is is that most of the people who were saying that I'm a Christian are really just kind of thing.

I've got some kind of faith and I'm hoping that it's going to be enough. I'm in a try to do enough good things to outweigh the bad things and we put it on the scale on the know that makes and folds what I want to tell you is that instead is a that is just rolling the dice and you don't have roll the dice with Jesus Christ. You don't have to roll the dice with Jesus Christ with Christ and no, you can note today, you can know today you can be set free minutes. Tell you how when we get back Dominic tell you how when we get back. I'm not making this up and I'm not condemning I want free and so does God more.

Now back to a chosen generation with pastor Grace who will rise up for me against the evildoers who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity in Matthew seven Jesus says to those who come to him and say Lord Lord. We've done all these incredible things all in your name and then he says, depart from me. I never knew you, you who practice iniquity. Iniquity is lawlessness. Iniquity is evil, iniquity comes from the idea that that we and not God get to decide your most trusted primary source of moral guidance is your feelings and experiences or advice from friends and family, 69% of born-again Christians agreed 65% of evangelical Christians agreed 54% of just plain born-again and 71% of the 69% of Christians those claiming to be Christian in America say that statement is true. Ladies and gentlemen it's it's it's not true how you feel about morality what you've experienced the advice of friends and family unless it comes from God's word.

It's not true. But here's the thing. When we are knowing that we are compromised, then we are less apt to take a stand for righteousness, holiness and and and biblical morality, and if we won't take that stand. We have to understand these building blocks. So what what pastors doing here is is saying look America, the Constitution John Adams quote our Constitution is fit only for a moral people. John Adams understood that the only way that our Constitution, which essentially gives all of the freedoms and all of the liberties to the people you and I to we the people and puts all of the restrictions and all of the walls and all of the barriers on the government interfering in our private and personal lives.

But if you're going to give a people back their freedom and that's what our founders were doing. They were giving us back our freedom. If you're going to give them back their freedom. Then it only works with the people who revere someone that is giving those rights to them and I'm not talking about government I'm not talking about the president of the United States. I'm talking about God himself and the only way then for the nation to have success is for the people in the nation to get the truth of the word of the gospel of Jesus Christ so they can get set free from the bad stuff go in today for today.

Please and reading Romans chapter 6 read that in Christ you are dead from your sin. There then they died. They were supplied. You really set free and make Galatians 220 I declaration this weekend.

If you need help with that reach out to me pastor Greg generation not gone. I wish you have a great at the end of the day, when I stand before my God, I do not want him to ask me what did you do with the world that I sent my son to die for and redeem how did you fight the good fight to share the good news. Give people a check. How did you shine your light to be a beacon of truth in the darkness did you shrink back in fear when they demand you change my message. Did you call evil good and good evil, did you forsake my love for that of another line with the adulterer and setting up a new idol in your life have you to file yourself through compromise and tolerance of that which I call an abomination.

Have you innocent blood on your hands for the children murdered on your watch of the young ones pervert in their way by evil men seeking their own comfort in reviling me know. At the end of the day. I want him to simply say the evidence is in. Well done, thou good and faithful servant. I love my God and I love his creation, and I will go to my grave telling the world that evil is evil and only God is good and Jesus came to save the world, that no matter the evil in the world.
