American Churches ? Entertaining or Truth

Christian Tee Shirts – What Statement Are You Making?

How much of the Bible is literally true?

That the only way to read the Bible is to read it metaphorically or metaphysically?

Confusion in the Pews

New research shows a troubling trend in America’s churches: regular attendees are increasingly unsure what the Bible actually says. Issues once considered clear-cut —like sexuality, family, and morality— now leave many Christians confused. Even foundational truths seem to be losing their stronghold inside the very institutions meant to teach them.
