* It's good to suffer loss, for it draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves. * Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God.

Painful Percentages


THE BAD NEWS (August 2013)
  • 18 percent of today's young adults (age 18-29) say they were raised in a religion but are now unaffiliated with any particular faith. Nearly all come from homes with lukewarm or nominal faith.
  • It's the Mainline Protestant churches that have seen marked declines in participation/membership in both real numbers and percent of population.
  • The nones have increased from 15% to 20% of the adult population in the last 5 years.
