In this session of Secret 16, Pastor David Platt introduces Christians to the beliefs of animism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and atheism. David Platt reminds Christians that we believe in a global gospel in a world of religions. He shares projections about the growth of these religions based on fertility rates and conversion patterns. Islam is projected to see the largest growth, as the number of Muslims is expected to equal the number of Christians by 2050. As Christians, we consider these statistics to ask whether or not the gospel is worthy of our confidence in the midst of so many alternatives. As followers of Christ, we need a biblical view of making disciples and of marriage and procreation.
