A haunting question isn't it? We live in challenging times, and we experience these challenges personally in our families, our churches, and our communities. Everyday, it is more and more difficult to live out our faith in every area of our lives. This fact is reflected in a recent study by the Barna Research Group which revealed a stunning statistic - only 9% of professing Christians have a biblical worldview.
Because of this, today's believers live very similarly to non-believers. A personal sense of significance is rarely experienced, we spend our money and time on things that fail to satisfy and we begin to wonder what life's ultimate purpose really is. We are, in short, losing our bearings as a people and a nation.
To help counter this trend within the Body of Christ, Focus on the Family's The Truth Project®, a DVD-based small group curriculum, is designed to equip believers with a comprehensive biblical worldview. Taught by Dr. Del Tackett, President of Focus on the Family Institute®, this home study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life.
On today's "Calling For Truth" Radio Program, we will speak with Gary Alan Taylor, Focus on the Family's Senior Program Manager for the Truth Project.

I'm struck by the assumption that the key issue addressed is the absence of a "Biblical worldview".
I would suggest in answer to the question "Do You Really Believe What You Profess?" what is missing today is an absence of HOLINESS and REPENTANCE.
I have seen the most blatant and appalling breaches of the 10 Commandments by professing pastors, deacons, churches and Christians in general. Whilst not an absolute rule it has often been the case that it is those who spoke the most about "Biblical worldviews" who were unrepentant for their sin.
"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears."
