While it may not always be true, I think many times church members sense that something is not right about the worship and teaching but don't say anything whether due to apathy or insecurity or something else.<br /><br />I know our focus for the youth where I go to church is to teach them to have a Christian worldview - a good solid biblical foundation with practical application so they can take it forward with them into school, work, and every other aspect of their life. It will take time, but if all churches will do that, we will see a reversal of some of the negative trends in our nation.B.K.

Is it any wonder why our country is in trouble when we have evangelism putting more importance on the show on Sunday morning than the message? Especially when you go to these mega churches (have nothing against them except they are huge) and you can't understand the words of the worship songs because it is too loud. How are we to teach through music if you can't understand the words being sung? Another good book to read is Epic Center by Joel Rosenberg. Did you know in India when they preach the Word, families bring in food, and they spend all day listening to the Word while America counts the minutes on Sunday and comments if the pastor speaks too long.Nikole Hahnhttp://www.thehahnhuntinglodge.comnoreply@blogger.com
