We are losing our children! Research indicates that 70% of teens who are involved in a church youth group will stop attending church … [1]
Similar statements from Christian leaders aren’t new, but many still can’t seem to identify the root cause of the problem. However, most front-line evangelists in the Western world have reached a consensus. The following quote is from a person who shares his faith more times in a month than most Christians ever will in their lives...

I’m sorry you’ve lost control of your faculties.
There ARE churches preaching the Word, Freddd. They’re usually the fundamental Baptist type churches. Our church is a spirit-filled charismatic church and we preach the word every Sunday.
Christians need to fast and pray for this for it’s happening TODAY.
I’m still waiting for mine!!!
I never heard of Ken Ham and I bet most people haven’t either, LOL.
You have made no comment other than to remark on my tone, which I have inferred that you are not pleased with.
I know kids who have gone to Christian school and still walk away from God. It’s really sad when even pastor’s kids do the same. It’s not that they haven’t heard the Word, but many times it’s just young people wanting to find out truth for themselves. They also often listen to their unbelieving friends. I think it’s a mixture of things. The world attracts them as well.
I have no doubt that what you say is true. I would like to know what you consider to be “walking away from God”, though.

Some are and some are not. It depends on whether or not they have asked the Lord Jesus Christ to come into their lives. Baptism won’t save them, but Jesus will.
Amen. I even want to see that! And I’m not young.
I don’t think most real Christians believe in evolution, Buck.
Oh, and pride goeth before a fall, Buck (smile).

I’m humbled by mine, to know that I can know the Creator of the Universe and His Son, Jesus Christ and that they know and LOVE ME!
Well, probably I shouldn’t have put it quite that way, but it LOOKS like that’s what they’re doing. They go and live with their boy/girlfriends, don’t attend church anymore, drink, smoke, you know, do worldly things.
“I don’t think most real Christians believe in evolution, Buck.”
Most Catholics believe in evolution. The Pope does not discourage the belief. Is the Pope not a Christian?
“Some are and some are not. “
How can you tell?
“It depends SOLELY on whether or not they have invited Christ into their lives.”
Is that invitation a requisite part of the Catholic faith?
