"I recently had Pastor Jim Carrel speak to our congregation from the Center for Biblical Morality.
We know that our culture has impacted the church in the area of
morality and that many of our youth are making tragic moral decisions.
These decisions will impact their entire future and there are serious
consequences for choosing an unbiblical lifestyle. Jim and his brother,
Dr. Daniel Carrel, have recently started this ministry to inform people
and enlighten the church of the destructive consequences of poor moral
choices. Dr. Daniel Carrel, recently wrote a book entitled: "Is Biblical Morality Outdated?" This book is a physician's perspective on the morality crisis in
America."
"I deeply appreciated the powerful message that Pastor Jim
Carrel presented to our church family. It was a biblical message with
relevant research to show the results of our amoral society. This is a
very important message for the church to hear in light of the way that
the culture has impacted the lives of believers. I would highly
recommend that you schedule Pastor Jim Carrel to share this relevant
message to your church. I strongly endorse his ministry and feel that
it will enhance and complement your ministry in your local church.
There is great value for our people to hear this message from another
voice with the credibility of recent research and facts. Please contact
me if you have any questions (269-948-8004)."

Bridgers (or millennials, born 1977-1994): 4% biblical believers
Source: The Bridger Generation by Thom Rainer,
p. 169 (cf. 165f, 153f, 158f, 7)
61% of today's young adults (bridgers in their 20's) who were regular
church attenders are now "spiritually disengaged." They are not actively
attending church, reading their Bibles, or praying.
"One of the distinguishing features of the bridger generation [or
millennials] is its inability to distinguish right from wrong."
"For the first time in American history, an entire generation will grow up without certain moral values."

pp. 125, 43
The church is experiencing a serious challenge: a significant number of
young people are leaving the faith and many have no moral compass.
Our Mission
The Center for Biblical Morality exists to assist
pastors and churches by keeping them informed of how the trends of our
culture are especially impacting our youth's thinking and morals, and
then providing practical resources and teaching on how to counteract our
culture's impact and build into our youth a biblical worldview, values
and morals.
Our Vision
To impact the next generation so that they not only
have a passionate heart for Christ, but they also have the solid
foundation of a biblical worldview, values and morals that allows them
to dramatically impact their world for Christ.
A Video Clip of a Ministry Presentation
After
working as a physician thirteen years in an emergency room and nine
years in a county jail, Daniel Carrel, D.O., has seen first hand the
devastating consequences of living a life contrary to what God tells us
in the Bible. Dr. Carrel was so burdened to warn people, especially the
bridger generation or millennials, of those destructive consequences
that he wrote the book, Is Biblical Morality Outdated?
After
serving twenty-four years as a pastor Dan's brother, Jim, has joined
him to form this ministry, the Center for Biblical Morality.

What readers are saying
about the book, Is Biblical Morality Outdated?
by Dr. Daniel Carrel
“As
an old hippy with a Masters degree in Social Work and Health Education
from the University of Berkeley in California, I liked your approach.”
Lois Koel, Grand Rapids, Michigan
“Thank
you for taking the time to write such an informative book. We live in
such perilous times and children are growing up to be accustomed to call
evil good and good evil. God bless you for your stand.”
Dorothea Graf, Iowa
“Your
book is the first book besides the Bible that I have read cover to
cover in 40 years. After I heard you speak, I wanted to read your book
and the patients you have cared for. After I finished it, my
granddaughter picked it up and read it.”
