Would have preferred a list of what Jesus wants preached…1. Repentance from sin 2. Remission of sin…

Interesting. Seems like another example of Americans saying one thing and doing another. Seems like the just flock to hear a narcissistic gospel that is all about what God wants to do for them

Barna’s saying one thing or the church?

John Conger [12/10/2015 12:41 PM]
I mean the church today seems like all they want is for God to bless them. This poll is in direct contrast to what’s being preached in most mega churches
