New Attitude on the Importance of the Local Church

April 11, 2007

     About a month ago on the New Attitude blog, Eric Simmons posted a two-part entry on “Why Your Friends Don’t Go to Church.” He starts off with this fact, “70% of people between the ages of 18-34, who once attended church, no longer do.” He goes on to answer the question of why 70 % of this generation are missing from church. It’s some great insight. To see what Simmons has to say on the issue, here’s Part 1 and Part 2. I hope to post more on the importance of the local church because of how much it is lacking in my generation.

QUICK REMINDER: The New Attitude Conference is a little bit more than a month away. Simmons will be one of the main speakers during this conference, along with Joshua Harris, CJ Mahaney, Al Mohler, Mark Dever, and John Piper. It’s in Louisville, KY during Memorial Day Weekend (May 26th-29th). You can get more information here. Registration closes May 7th.
