Webster defines Syncretism as, “the combination of different forms of belief or practice.”

According to Barna Research, “only 37% of Christian pastors have a working, robust biblical worldview.” Most “Christian” pastors have a blending of religious views (syncretism) which falls outside of traditional Biblical principles.

George Barna goes on to say, “the blending of elements from multiple worldviews into a customized individual philosophy of life, has taken over the belief landscape of the U.S., which was once dominated by Christianity.”

More than atheists or agnostics, or false religions such as Mormons or Muslims, the undermining of Biblical Christianity has at its epicenter oxymoronic views on the sin nature of man, the supremacy of God, and the replacement of traditional Christian theology with the changing whims of the social gospel, along with various tenants taken from other false faith traditions.

As pastors and congregations leave the narrow-minded, exclusionary views of an inerrant Bible, the authority of Christ is lost among the ruins by the blending of “different forms of belief or practice.”

Children are being raised outside of the moral foundations of the Christian church. Those who do attend services are often confronted with cultural Christianity which can be likened to being inoculated with Dead Christianity. Raised in liberal churches, one believes they are saved because they got baptized or walked an aisle as a child. Their hearts have been hardened, resistant to a true personal relationship with Jesus Christ, built on a recognition that He is Lord of their lives.

We are either on the cusp of revival or the end-times if one views the trend of American Christianity in isolation.
