			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jesus answered, &#8220;I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Though many Americans will go to a church that preaches this&#8230;MOST don&#8217;t feel that&#8217;s really the only way to eternal life according to a new survey by the <a href="http://religions.pewforum.org/">Pew Forum</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>57 percent of evangelical church attenders said they believe many religions can lead to eternal life</p></blockquote>
<p>The whole report is disturbing&#8230;another stat shows that anywhere from 10-27% of people (Catholics being some of the lowest) who regularly attend church are not absolutely certain that God exists. These are the people who you see week after week in church, are leading Sunday school, small groups, etc&#8230;.and they aren&#8217;t certain if God exists.</p>
<p>The survey also points out that the church is still failing at reaching the crowd of 18-29 years old as they make up between 14-17% of those attending the church, that number jumps to 36-39% at 30-49.</p>
<p>Now I realize this is just a survey and certainly wouldn&#8217;t bet my life on the findings, and I&#8217;ve just begun to dig in but this is disturbing stuff&#8230;but it&#8217;s clear there is still much to do.</p>
<p>So please, take a look at the survey&#8230;I&#8217;d love to hear your take on it.</p>
