Who
wrecked our church, our denomination, our plans? Why are we challenging what
and how – we believe and do? Why don’t people come and get committed to what we
believe and do? Why isn’t all we do working anymore? Why do people not come to our church, get committed, enter our programs, end up running them?
To whom do we ‘throw the torch’ of ministry? Will we close down this church after all these ears? How will we survive? Will we die
before we get this figured out? We opposed all those new worship songs, because how else will young people learn theology other than through singing the good old hymns? Now, it’s: "Where did they
all go?"
Well, you
won; you froze them out. How can a church do local mission when we can’t even keep
our own kids? We’ve lost several generations now.
