58% of Americans say they do not personally want wisdom and advice from the Bible, and about the same number 57% read it fewer than five times per year.
A new survey by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University found that fewer people take their moral values from biblical principles.
A sign of the end times is the falling away from the truth.
1 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first.
The American values study found that 71 percent of American adults support traditional moral values today, including integrity, justice, kindness, non-discrimination, trustworthiness, free expression, property ownership, individual growth, and self-control.
Less than half of adults who hold to those values consider biblical morality a core value.
Moral values are not made-up American ideas but real moral values come from the teachings of the Bible, and integrating them into your life will produce the fruit of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Galatians 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Another finding is that 42 percent of Americans say that “what you feel in your heart” is their absolute moral guide to life instead of the Bible. “Three-quarters of Americans maintain that people are good.
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Romans 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Roman 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
“Less than half of all Americans believe in God or that the Bible is God’s true, relevant and reliable words to humanity,” CRC’s director of research, Dr. George Barna.
The Bible speaks of the end times and what will be taught in many churches.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2 Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Any person that has read and studied the Bible knows that you have to be born again by the Word of God, and you grow by implementing those beliefs and standards into your mind and life.
1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
