Statistics

Statistics, thanks to my wife who shared this article.

America has the highest percentage of single-parent families in the industrialized world and

The highest abortion rate.

The highest rate of sexually transmitted diseases.

The highest rate of teenage birth by far.

The highest rate of teenage drug use.

The largest prison population per capita than any country in the world.

In the last 50 to 60 years:

The divorce rate has doubled.

Teen suicide has tripled.

Reported violent crime has quadrupled.

The prison population has quintupled.

The percentage of babies born to unmarried mothers has risen sixfold.

Couples living together unmarried have increased sevenfold.

In spite of this moral decline:

Eighty-four percent of the inhabitants of this nation say they believe Jesus Christ is God.

45 percent claim to be born-again Christians.

Seventy-seven percent believe their chances of going to heaven are excellent. Thirty-three percent believe one day everyone will go to heaven. 

I can’t help but believe that many are deceived about who they are in Christ and where they will spend eternity.
