What has failed, is the watering down of Christianity to try to attract people. This is done in both adult and youth ministries.

Church's have not done anything to attract younger people. My church still plays the same old geezer hymms from the turn of the last century. I just can't relate.

Church's put those hokey old sayings out on signs such as "What is missing from ch__ch? I think of Aunt Bee types thinking those things up while doing her needlepoint.

And they wonder why younger people have no interest.

Unfortunately, too many churches would answer "your" instead of "you are".

My church has drums, guitars, bongos, everything except an organ I haven't heard in nearly three years. Let's trade churches.

Some have done stuff to attract younger people. It’s just a matter of finding the right one. Again, it’s important that the church did not water down the message though.
