I am preaching 3 times tomorrow. Twice in my school, once at my church. The passage is the feeding of the five thousand. I am using it to show that we need to feed the five thousand of our neighborhood with the Word of God. Here's some statistics I'm using to show why I think we need it.
- In 1999, 82% of teens say they are Christians. That dropped 6% in 2 years. Imagine what is it at now.
- Almost two-thirds (66%) describe themselves as religious.
- Three out of five say they are spiritual.
- Three out of five say they are committed Christians.
- One out of every three (33%) say they are born again Christians.
- Only 4% say they are evangelical. A person is considered evangelical when they believe that Jesus saved them from Hell and that the Bible is true. (p 42 Josh.org)
- Only 56% of born again Christians feel the need to tell their friends about God.
Please please please please please please please! pray for me tomorrow as I speak. Pray that God uses this to spark a fire. I believe He can and will use it if the prayers of the His people are strongly behind it! Pray people, pray!
