Barna Studies the Research - Year-in-Review Perspective
Here is the full article. But here is one observation worth noting here:
“Ultimately, in a culture where people are busy, distracted, confused and trying to keep it all together, there is less loyalty to a faith brand than to self. The purpose of faith, for most Americans, is not so much to discover truth or to relate to a loving, praiseworthy deity as it is to become happy, successful, comfortable and secure. For a growing percentage of citizens, their sense of spirituality, more than Christianity, facilitates those outcomes.”
We have a great opportunity to grow and focus in 2010 as Christians.
