New Attitude on the Importance of the Local Church

     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.

    Hello Cameron. I saw a comment you left on Unashamed Workman’s blog regarding Preaching and Phil Ryken. I noticed you attend E.K.U.

    If you ever are in need of a good church in Richmond, Open Door Church ( http://www.opendoor-church.org) is a Reformed Baptist Church. Our pastor loves Phil Ryken, and strives the preach the Word in truth and reverence.

    We would love to enjoy your fellowship, and we have Friday evening services ( right now a Redemptive-Historical study of the doctrines of Grace found within the Old Testament) and Sunday services, with Bible Study on Sunday evening at 5:30 ( currently Don Whitney’s “Disciplines of Christian Life”) .

    Get in touch with me, love to hang out or go evangelizing together.

    Exalting in Christ,

    Steven Adkins

    Wow! Thanks for posting those links…
    I loved the fifth question about the type of church.
    It really made me think about how important it is going to be for me to find a spirit filled, bible preaching church if I move out of state. I never really thought about putting finding a good church above finding a good job… I needed that.
    Thanks!
