  I would say that people do not believe the Bible to be true simply because it is the Bible but that instead the Bible needs to be proven with testimonials and illustrations that are a result of its impact on peoples lives. However, I view the Bible as the eternal Word of God that is the foundation of my faith and the ultimate authority in my life.

  Culture is creating great pressure to be all inclusive, accepting, affirming. Many in the church are questioning the Authority of Scripture and how it relates to abortion, homosexuality, gender, divorce, marriage, among other things, as a result of culture’s growing force.
  This can create a need or desire to refute the false teaching, and less time in living out our faith and revealing Jesus in and through us.

  The individualism often taught and modeled, the “personal” nature of faith, weakens the reality of the family of God, creating weakness in many cases, frustration and bitterness on the other side. I have been frustrated with the lack of willingness to gather and live out the identity as family, children of God, we are not believing what God states about His Fsmily and priority.

  The pressure of culture and work and family at times leaves little room to enjoy and practice the presence of God. The study of God’s Word in depth seems pushed to the perimeter in the pace we allow ourselves to enter, so in essence are not seeing the priority of the Word.

  The Bible is the sovereign, unchanging word of God and I make every attempt not to allow the culture that surrounds me to affect my view of His truth, challenging as it is.

  The culture views the Bible differently than how God’s children view it. The culture no longer views the Bible as the authoritative Word of God. Satan uses the world (culture) to pull believers and unbelievers away from God’s truth. The culture tries to tell us the Bible is no longer relative, it’s not politically correct, it’s racist, sexiest, etc. The culture pulls verses out of context and puts it’s own interpretation and twists on it. If believers do not read and study the Bible themselves, it is easy to be swayed by the prevailing thoughts and attitudes of culture. Believers must continually renew their minds by taking in the word of God.

  Today’s culture stress very much on self and this is a great hindrance to coming close to God with humility.
  We have almost instant access to information and can get immediate answers to many challenges without needing to come to a physical community.
  Today’s culture promote less of community living, more self dependence.
