A new religious survey has found that the percentage of born again Christians in America continues to decline, the Christian Post website reports today (December 1, 2017).
It also found that only a minority of the faithful believe they have a strong personal responsibility to share the Gospel.
"Christianity in America is going through a time of substantial challenge. The Church at-large is not likely to grow in the future unless some fundamental changes in practice are made," said researcher George Barna, speaking about the American Culture & Faith Institute survey results released this week.
Barna added: "Fewer churches emphasize and equip people for evangelism these days, and the results are obvious and undeniable. The implications of ignoring gospel outreach -- especially among children, who are the most receptive audience to the gospel -- are enormous. All the 'church growth' strategies in the world cannot compensate for the absence of an authentic transmission of the good news of what Jesus Christ has done for humanity."
