analice107:
Take a peep inside Winners Chapel or Christ Embassy and see Youths. stop saying what you don't know. you don't go to church doesn't mean others don't.

bukiboy:


check your prayer points and how you pray. prayer without work is pure stupidity.

Maybe they are beginning to see the light and realise that God is fiction.

escodotman:
That is what is called Faith. Faith is believing what you dont see. You dont see God but you see His works. Even in school they teach you so many absracts and jargons that you cant see with your eyes but you still chose to believe!

dodelight:

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.

analice107:

But Op said, the youths don't go to church, why are you now shifting the goal post. Speak for yourself.

Mekanus:

I will take you serious only when you die and come back to share your post death experience here. This is why I will always detest religion, it makes people dumb. Just imagine someone who has not tested death telling me that something will happen after death. I don't give a mess about what happens after I die, I care only about this world I'm seeing, if anything should happen after death, then we will take care of that when we get there since we never had knowledge of our preexistence.

Rozaybb:
dont worry wen u die....u will den give a Bleep after ur death mumu..

Mujtahida:

Understand my point. God cannot be taught! God cannot be in a book! Get it, would you? God is too vital to our lives to be a subject in a book. Do you breathe from a book? The God that lives inside the Bible is the handwork of men

I know no God, the Bible God or any other. I just believe that God exist. And I believe that God is not the Bible God. You are free to follow your Bible God. After all I did until I realised I was worshiping a thing constructed by men. What's so difficult about God speaking by himself to his children in church without a pastor or prophet or human mouth piece. Until he does speak by himself I will not give credence to his claims. Simple

dodelight:

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.

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.

dodelight:

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.

analice107:

It matters a lot to me, as a matter of fact, it makes me cry. That's why we are here trying to make some know there's still a reason to hope.

Iamzik:


Try discussing the issue with your mum. Perhaps you feel the number of church service is overwhelming. My dad used to be like that and I didn't like it..... Until he passed on then I realized the true value of personal devotion time. I'm sure she mean the best for you. Try to see beyond her seemingly overbearing attitude. Regards

dodelight:
Alright. It is well. May God help us all.

sorry,i am not shocked. Frustration could lead to a case like yours. You need a helping hand urgently. This is what we hear before a leap into the Canal. Whoever reads this knows you do have a case,if not the CHI that you said is a fool comes before your name. Call Him all you like,it doesnt change his status, ALL KNOWING GOD!

escodotman:
U sure God really wants that from you bro?? ''a pastor and a muslim cleric caught......'' and that has meant there are no true men of God and heavenly Churches out there anymore? Kontinu. People like this, when troubles & storms of the world come knocking, no one tells them before they fly to Church!
