"Over the past 20 years we have seen the nation's theological views slowly become less aligned with the Bible. Americans still revere the Bible and like to think of themselves as Bible-believing people, but the evidence suggests otherwise. Christians have increasingly been adopting spiritual views that come from Islam, Wicca, secular humanism, the eastern religions and other sources. Because we remain a largely Bible-illiterate society, few are alarmed or even aware of the slide toward syncretism - a belief system that blindly combines beliefs from many different faith perspectives.” (https://www.barna.org/barna-update/article/5-barna-update/82-americans-draw-theological-beliefs-from-diverse-points-of-view?q=theology+theological [accessed 6/21/13])

Why are people leaving churches? • They were bored with church services. They were not worshipful. The church did not help them meet God. • They did not feel people in the church were real. • They avoid the "bad stuff. The garbage they had accumulated in life is not dealt with. • There are two worlds, the world of the church ... and the real world .... Faith is not integrated into life. • There is no answer to important questions. • They ask, "Where is God and why doesn't he do or say something to me?" They get no answer. • (“Legalism and the Authority of the Word of God,” by William P. Wilson, M.D., Institute of Christian Growth web site, reporting on William D. Hendricks’ book, Exit Interviews)

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
