**Only 31 percent of mainline adults believe they have a personal responsibility to discuss their faith with people who have different beliefs and a minority of them are presently involved in some type of personal discipleship activity. **

A very sad number.

Most mainline adults I know and have known are vaguely embarrassed by the gospel, probably fearing ridicule from their liberal friends. And if the subject arises will hurriedly move on to a more comfortable topic.

May be related to a UCC service I attended last year, in which the name of Jesus was never mentioned.

“A very sad number”

Sad because the fact is that most churches do not teach sound doctrine, hence the fellowship doesn’t really know what they believe. How can you witness if you don’t know what you believe? The Lord may tarry for another thousand years but the age of apostacy has begun.
