But neither parents nor churches seem to be up to the task these days.”
Are the laws of the land replacing the laws of God in determining good and evil in America? In the past, how did that turn out for God’s people? Are we bound to reap the same reward?

consequences? Dr. Barna explains that children are looking to their parents for

Discussed by Dr. George Barna

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Without God’s Word as a guide, is it surprising that American adults are
confused about being born into sin? Dr. Barna explains that many people pick and
choose from various religions to determine what they believe is good and evil.
The problem with this is that most other religions do not outline moral absolute
truths.
Do the majority of American adults simply not worry about the effects of sin?
Do many Americans, even Christians, follow the rule “if it feels good, do it”?
Is this a dangerous ideal?
How can we be used by God, through the Holy Spirit, to point our lost and dying
world to His son, Jesus Christ?

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Has there been a staggering decline in the number of Americans who adhere to a biblical worldview?
Compared to the worldview of America’s elders, is our country’s youngest generation less interested in faith? Do they have less respect for others? Are they less enthusiastic for America?
Is the US headed in the direction of liberal policies and ideology dominated by American education and political views?
What happens to our country if Joe Biden is, in fact, confirmed the next President of the United States?

Title: Part 2 of 3 - The Real Civil War in Modern America
Topic: America Divided
Discussed by Dr. George Barna
with Cultural Research Center (www.CulturalResearchCenter.com)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Dr. Barna’s surveys show that America is losing its Christ-centered worldview.
Must we develop and execute a plan to save the America we have loved and
respected?
The left has had a plan in place for years to transform America. Both Obama and
now Biden have stated they want to change America and to save America to their
liberal ideology. Is their plan radically opposed to a Christ-centered
worldview?
Is the media teaching, encouraging, and motivating Americans with an acceptable
Christ-centered moral code?
Is public education teaching, encouraging, and motivating American students with
an acceptable Christ-centered moral code?
Editor’s Note: Parents, take a very close look at your children’s
schoolwork – especially those in high school. You will be shocked at what you
will discover!
Is government, through laws and policies, codifying and communicating an
acceptable Christ-centered moral code?
It is possible to counteract that exposure through other experiences and
relationships?

Is it possible to save America and a true Christian nation once again?
Must churches develop better tools?
Will it be a charismatic leader or the church on its knees who will win souls
and bring America back to God?
