An online quiz shows that an increasing number of people who claim to be Christians are not living out the principles of the faith.The Quiz, which is being conducted by a ministry called Changing the Face of Christianity, has helped evaluate the face of Christianity as well as lead people through a self-assessment. Brad White, a spokesman for the ministry. discusses the The Quiz with OneNewsNow.
"Not enough people are reading the Bible consistently," he explains. "Not enough people are, in fact, reading it at all. I think even less so, people often don't have sort of a daily quiet time where they're actually in a relationship with Jesus Christ. I think a lot of times, even when people are in Bible studies, it is a little bit more of an intellectual type of thing as opposed to a seeking and a desire to know God."
According to the survey, many respondents need to work on prayer. The purpose of the survey is to identify areas where work is needed, and White says one goal is to promote participation in smaller group settings.
"People need to be in close-knit relationships with other Christians, growing from one another, seeking to help each other through accountability and through helping each other live their lives, as opposed to just getting together to study or getting together just for social aspects," he tells OneNewsNow.
White says it is safe to say that people can no longer have church as usual. The ministry website has additional information on the survey and how to grow as a Christian.
