AvsGot007:(Continuing from my previous post...) I was doing all normal church things religiously with others, but now with a heart different from theirs, as I really wished to know God beyond the pages of the Bible. I must admit though, I was doing a number of bad things then, but every night I would sincerely pray to God for forgiveness of my sin, telling God my desire to know him. I also chose to read the Bible, though I had questions about some things there. My brother, all God really want to see in us is our sincere readiness to walk with him. It doesn't happen overnight. It takes time. Then one night, I was already sleeping when something woke me up around 11pm. Just like a thought in my heart, the 'voice' asked me to open a passage of the scriptures. The first was in Romans, the second in Psalms and third from Isaiah. I'd never come across them before, and they were all speaking of the same thing. The funny thing was I slept off after reading them. When I woke up in the morning, I remembered something happened in the night but I couldn't remember the exact passages of the scripture except that of Romans. It's 4:8. And says "Blessed is the man on whom the Lord will not impute sin". That experience strengthened my resolve that, yes, there's is a God somewhere. And it's the beginning of many greater experiences. But it's a process. The point is, God has trusted many of our parents and pastors with his fellowships and power, which they have abused or misunderstood. So He'd rather see how determined we really are to know Him before giving us the secret things. |

analice107:My dear, most of them go to church just to fulfil religious obligations not really because they actually have a relationship with God. I am a Redeemite, and I also work with many Christian denominations: I see things from church to church. What you see with most youths going to church on Sunday is mostly superficial. |

Christ came to abolish religion — you've have tried religious organizations?! the question is? have you tried Jesus Christ? he said when you drink from that water you'll surely thirst again but the water i give you to drink it will quench your everlasting thirst and open up rivers of living water within you. |

Going to church and not having personal relationship with Almighty God is a waste of time. God is not looking for your attendance in churches, He wants you to have personal relationship with him. He searches your heart. All you need to do is go back and get right with him. God is Real. Jesus is Real. Heaven is Real. Hell is Real. The Lord Reigneth... Let The Earth Tremble. |

analice107:And Yes, op is very correct. If the church continues with the present trend more youths will quit church. I am speaking reality here. I work in teenagers and youth ministry across board and I know things. Yea, there. I've spoken for myself. But I don't belong to myself alone, unlike you, I belong to the universe. So I've spoken for my generation, too. |

dodelight: Let me answer you with this scriptures; ... for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew:7:13-14 NEVERTHELESS. 1Kings 19:18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. Acts:14:17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good... I know exactly what you are saying, but if you are a 'Word' Christian you should know the signs of time. This is the time when many will reject faith, reject sound doctrines. This is the time of 'Falling away'. This the time the Holy Spirit through prophet Daniel talked about the Increase of Knowledge, this is the time when people seek more for knowledge, albeit, mundane. This is the time when men will look for signs more than the substance. This is the time when the Spirit of the Antichrist will wax stronger, but even then, 'The Lord knows the ones who are His' and He knows how to keep them from the pollution of this world. 2Pt 2:20 Good brother, the Nation of Israel is a typology of the Church in the world, a time came when it seemed only Elijah was the only godly person in all of Israel, but the LORD, surprised him by telling him how many were preserved. And, What Israel went through until Christ came, the Church shall go through until His second advent. No matter how bad things get, Jehovah has a remnant for Himself. My Joy is that, the Word of God is True, if He has said it, it'll come to pass. The Christ knew this time will come, hence; he asked this question; ...Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Luke:18:8 The Lord knows that the faith of many shall wax cold towards Him, many will deny Him. Look around you, especially here in this forum, can we see it? Nevertheless, the foundation of the Lord stands firm, that the Lord knows those who are His and he is known of them. No man can come to the Lord except He draws them and the ones He draws close, He preserves. And as many that were ordained for eternal life believed. Many will follow satan, but few will follow the Master whose name is Jesus. Don't worry, many are called, buy few are chosen. You said you work with the youths, you are so blessed to have that ministry, make a difference and your generations shall be blessed for it. Don't let what is going on around you dampen your resolve, just know that, it's the Word of the Master coming to pass. How do you feel when you see wolf becoming a tamed friendly dog? May the Lord increase your grace and multiple your strength, in Jesus name. |

sonmvayina:That's why there are many translations na to show you that it is the lying work of Man. Look at nature, rainfall or sunshine for example-it needs no translation or interpretation because it is the pure work of God. All over the world, rain is rain and sunshine is sunshine.

analice107:Thanks anyways, though I have more than just a resolve to hold on to. My actual concern is whether you think what's happening to our youths losing interest in church does not matter, once we still have a few mouths that have not kissed Baal. |

bionixs: Actually, God Almighty is not a fool, but yahweh one of his creatures is a fool as the guy said. You can add Allah to the list of fools too. All bad gods who don't want humanity to use their brains are fools and their wicked lights will soon fade off the minds of humanities in Otem's name I pray, ASE! |

escodotman: They are true men of yahweh until the day they would be caught and u guys would deny they ever were. Anyway, that pastor of yours whom you think is a true man of yahweh shall soon be revealed, though that doesn't mean that he isn't a true man of yahweh (because the mark of a true man of yahweh is doing evil continually. |
