Last month I finished posting a seven chapter manuscript in response to a statistic announced by The American Family Association. The statistic is “Only six percent of all people who call themselves Christians truly understand the core message of the Bible”.

The statistic was announced about three months ago. I had been working on a manuscript I developed out of my notes in trying to pin point crucial doctrinal issues people are missing. That being that people just do not have a complete understanding of what it is they profess. A person is not a Christian because that person says that they are.

These people who are calling themselves evangelicals do not have an accurate understanding of The Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are easily influenced by well reasoned arguments because they do not know what God’s standard for a particular issue is. For instance, many “Christians” are saying that cival unions and homosexual marriages should be permitted because God would not want us to hurt a person by offending their beliefs. The fact is, we as the church need to defend the church as we would our family. Just as Jesus did when he drove the money changers and merchants out of the Temple. He was protecting the House of God. The only time we see him get violently angry was an example of how assertive the Christian ought to be in defending God’s house today, which is the church. More accurately, the people.
