The Collapse of Biblical Authority: Why So Many Christians No Longer Trust the Bible
Update: 2025-12-06
Description
In this episode of the Weekly Watch, we address one of the most alarming trends revealed in the latest State of Theology survey: 53% of evangelicals now say the Bible is not literally true. This is not a minor drift — it is a complete collapse of our foundation. Dave Jenkins walks through why so many professing Christians no longer trust the Scriptures, how decades of shallow teaching and therapeutic Christianity have contributed to biblical illiteracy, and why the church must return to a deep confidence in the truthfulness and authority of the Word of God. We consider: • How the modern church moved from expositional teaching to motivational talks. • Why biblical illiteracy is a spiritual crisis. • What Scripture says about Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16 –17, Psalm 19:7, John 17:17 , Matthew 4:4). • How false teaching flourishes when confidence in the Bible collapses. • Why revival begins with returning to the Word of God. The Bible is true, trustworthy, infallible, and sufficient. If the church is going to stand firm in a confused age, we must once again treasure, trust, and teach the Word of the living God. Scripture Alone. Christ Alone. Truth Without Apology. Stand firm in the Word. Keep contending for the faith once for all delivered to the saints.
