What happens after we die? It’s one of the most gripping questions that human beings have wrestled with since the beginning of time. Thankfully, we are not left in the dark on such an important issue. The Bible gives us the answers. However, much of what people think about the afterlife – in particular, about […]

Many people know that communication is partly non-verbal; a person’s mannerisms, facial expressions, and body language can covey a message just as clearly (sometimes more so) than the actual words they are speaking. While preaching cannot be compared in all respects to public speaking, it is still a form of it, and we preachers would […]

Isn’t it weird how, when something is on your mind a lot, the topic seems to come up more than usual? Maybe it’s just that we are more aware of it; I’m not really sure why it seems to happen that way. But it has been happening to me quite a bit recently. The thing […]

Not many people where I live (Canada) are big baseball fans, but I am one of them. I have loved the sport ever since my dad first taught me to throw and catch in the backyard as a little kid. Even though I haven’t been able to watch much baseball lately, I’ve been keeping up […]
Why You Shouldn’t Be Freaking Out That Young People Are Leaving the Church
Posted on October 3, 2013 Leave a Comment
I hear about it and read about it all the time: young people are leaving the church. Usually the language used is meant to create some sort of panic among Christians.
