Worldview Misalignment
From Newsmax.com:
"Exit polls showed Obama winning big with black Protestants (94 percent backed him), Hispanic Catholics (72 percent), and Hispanic Protestants and other Christians (67 percent). Obama won the election handily even though white Catholics and white Protestants backed Republican John McCain."
By this report, most church-people have a skewed understanding (or no understanding at all) of Biblical worldview. Maybe it has to do with what's been stated about American Christianity --- 1" deep, 4 miles wide. Or maybe this indicates that the majority of people who attend Christian church services do so when it somehow benefits them or assuages their conscience.
Why am I surprised ...........
2 Timothy 3
1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
>>> With God's help, let's be doers of the Word --- letting it influence how we live!!
