this is the church, this is the steeple...
I am distressed by reports I hear from Nick about my home church. The youth program is dead, and the youth director has pushed Jesus totally out of the picture. There is no support from up above, nothing seems to get done, no one wants to take responsibility, the kids are so complacent and blah that they don't care to complain, and many have just kind of stopped coming. Even good ol Bart is thinking of quitting.
This is what happens when you build your house on the sand and not the rock of Christ. It is a sinking ship, and I wonder if Nick or I are in any position to help right it. He's just gonna jump overboard- he's quitting in december. What do I do? Do I pick a fight? Do I jump ship and let them drown? Is it my place to complain?
What can I do Lord? I see your house in a sorry state. I see my sister in a group that is lead by non-spiritual people. I worry for her, for Bryan and Spencer, for Anne, for Mitchell, for Danny Brown... It breaks my heart.
