quoting Jonah,
There is a lot that could be said about the survey and its results, but I would like to focus on this 50% drop off in young people being involved in religion. The 50% decrease in practicing believers is actually directed at the Catholic Church (a great cause for concern when half of your young people disappear over a four year period... where is the future?). Some of you might not think that is a bad thing, depending on your opinion of the Catholic Church. But here is the thing... sometime between the year 2000 and the year 2004, roughly 130,000 young people in Spain stopped going to church altogether. And guess what? They didn't come to an Evangelical church either! Maybe a few of them did, but I can tell you that the vast majority didn't. The study shows that the Christian Church (both Catholic and Protestant) in Spain is bleeding young people.


I don't wanna paint a picture of doom and gloom. I actually think that the outlook is pretty good. I am excited about what God is going to do on this particular "stage of life". But I want to emphasize that the need in this country is great. We ain't just here on vacation!!! The Church becomes less present in society and therefore less relevant with every passing year. I know loads of passionate young people across this country that are battling and sacrificing to put a stake in the ground and see this country turn around. We are all tired, financially strapped and in need of support. Would you pray TODAY about what you can do?

I know I don't usually get this "in your face" on this blog, so I hope none of you are offended. But this survey touches very close to home and I think it is cause for a good rousing of friends and passers-by.

tonight

tsunami - much more important than below but if you get a chance

tonight (tuesday) a guy from work and his girlfriend are coming round for food, i have to tell him that i nearly got off with his girlfriend last time they were in the house, Thank God i didnt, but this could potentially be a pretty hectic situation. i also told her i wouldnt tell him, so i have to tell her that i am going to tell him first, i dont really want to tell him, cause it could seriously damage their long-term relationship, but at the same time i live a lie.
