4%???

I was just listening to a preacher this morning talking about passing the torch to the next generation, he stated that a study showed that in 4 generations, starting with the "builder generation," has went from 60% evangelical christians to 4% in our generation, let me explain.

The "builder" generation was born between 1927-1945, of this generation 60% are evangelical christians, the next generation is the "boomer" generation 1946-1964 and 35% of that generation are evangelical christians. The "buster" generation 1965-1983 and 16% of that generation are evangelical christians the next generation, this generation is the bridger generation 1984-present only 4% of this generation are evangelical christians!!! 4%?!?!?!?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?

This is crazy!!! We have more programs, more technology, more churches, more preachers, more bible studies, more books, more denominations than any other time in history and only 4% of my generation has chosen to live for God?? So, what is the problem?? Why are we choosing to be the church only on Sunday? Why are we only being the church inside the 4 walls of our comfortable buildings?? Why have I wasted so much of my time on foolish endeavours chasing after things that will amount to nothing when I stand before Almighty God? Why? 96% of this generation, 96% of people 24 and younger are living a life without Christ, living a life of hopelessness, living for today, not knowing the eternal ramifications of their lifestyles....


It is time for the 4% that are sold-out to God to stand up and say I will pick up the baton that was handed down to me, the faith that my father and his father so earnestly contended for and say like the disciples that walked with God, WE WILL TURN THIS WORLD UPSIDE DOWN FOR CHRIST!!!


I will not tell my friends and family things that will tickle their ears and make them feel good about themselves, I will tell them of the judgement of God against sin, and I will let them know that God's love has been extended to them, that he stands at the door and knocks!!! That he waits for them with open arms and nail scarred hands that bore their sin, that his blood was shed on an old rugged cross to heal them of their sickness, that his side was pierced and blood and water flowed from his side that we might escape the judgement of Hell and live with him forever more in Heaven!!! That 96% must hear this message, what is holding you back from telling them?

That is what a life "without dilution" is really all about!!

God Bless,

Without Dilution Purity Conference '08

Friday night was AWESOME!!! The first ever Without Dilution Purity Conference was a great success, the music was awesome, everyone that helped stepped up to the plate and knocked this one out of the park!! The people that helped with the Illustrated sermon did a great job, and MOST importantly the presence of GOD was there!! At the Altar Service God came by and really touched the lives of the young people that came up to make a committment to purity and came up for prayer, there were broken hearts that were healed, there were lives that were living in bondage to sexual sin and had those chains broken, and experienced freedom and victory!!!

In total there were 14 committments to purity made, and there were several youth pastors that came up to us afterward and let us know how much they appreciated the event Friday night, I am so excited to see what God is going to do next!!

If you are visiting this blog and you were there Friday night, Thank you for coming!!!! We have added something new to the blog, over to the right side on the blog is a chat window, if you have any questions or comments you can do that there and if I'm not online I will get it next time I log in.

Stay tuned, in the near future we will have some video of the purity conference, for those of you that can't wait till next year, and also for encouragement and strength to remain "without dilution," in a world full of impurities!!!

Thank you and God Bless,
Nathan
