Another SBC Concern...

Reading the Dallas morning News today I came across this blog that should greatly concern not only the SBC, but rather the entire Christian community. A study of over 36,000 people taken by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life shows that 60% of professing Southern Baptists said they believed there are many ways to get to the hereafter. The following finding on absolute right and wrong is very scary. Where does there absolutes for right and wrong come from if it's not from their religious teachings?

"Almost eight in 10 of those surveyed said they believe in “absolute
standards of right and wrong.” But only a third said they turned primarily
to religious teachings to set their standards."

Jesus said in John 14v6: I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by me.
1 Timothy 2v5 says: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

So obviously, for these professing Southern Baptists there are a few horrific possibilities working with the findings of this study.

1. The church is preaching a false or unclear gospel.
2. Those surveyed don't regularly attend church, but rather claim "Baptist" by their tradition.
3. They're not reading the Bible.
4. This one is probably the most obvious that can/will tie the above together and that is they're false converts.

Matthew 9v37-38: Then He said to His disciples, The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few; Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest.

In Christ Alone,
