I want a new attitude..

OK, so I think that it is time to have a heart to heart with the kids at our church over the attitude of their worship and their hearts.
Seriously, it has gotten ridiculous!
We have a handful that are hungry for God's word and for serious study, but the rest of them....I'm not even sure why they're there, which is what I want to talk about with them.
It's interesting, the timing of it all; all of the leadership are completely sick of it all and we've finally talked amongst ourselves to realize that we have a problem, and, cooincidently, the youth pastor has asked for us to take charge of the evening cuz he can't be there.
In other words, we have a captive audience, but, really we want to take the time to tell the kids how we feel about their behavior and how we believe it's time for something new...a new attitude!
My friend, Jill, showed me an email about Saddle mountain church, Rick Warren's fellowship, and how they are seeing now that they have approached their church programs completely wrong.
They have seen that people are not closer to God or each other because of the programs offered.
In fact, they believe it about corporate prayer and Bible study.
This is the most influential church in America admitting they've done it wrong!!!!!!!
We, the Church, have lost our way to the hiways and biways of over-programming when the answer is so simple; love our neighbors, pray with them and over them, independently and corporately, and study God's word, individually, and as families.
Kudos to that church for identifying a problem AND finding a Godly solution to that problem.
They are my heroes and my inspiration to do what must be done at our church, even if it's hard.
