Are Churches Teaching Biblical Truth Boldly?
Faith Facts
- A recent study found that less than half of churchgoers believe the Bible has clear teachings on homosexuality or transgenderism.
- The number of people viewing the Bible as “clear & decisive” on abortion, religious liberty, and marriage has declined since 2023.
- Family Research Council President Tony Perkins says many churches are not consistently teaching biblical truths on key social issues.
Church attendance does not always translate to a strong understanding of biblical teachings on important moral topics. According to this new research, confusion among believers is rising regarding what Scripture truly says about issues dominating today’s culture.
Perkins emphasized the responsibility of pastors and churches to address these topics through faithful and systematic teaching of God’s Word.
“Many pastors, many churches are not systematically teaching the word of God,” Perkins said.
He noted that when churches neglect clear and regular instruction, culture fills the gap, shaping Christian worldviews away from biblical foundations.
Calvary Chapel churches were held up as positive examples due to their commitment to teaching through the whole Bible, engaging every subject as it arises.
In times of cultural confusion, Christian families and churches must courageously speak, teach, and live according to biblical principles, defending faith, truth, and freedom for future generations.
