New Statistic

In environmental science, Ken Ham gave a new statistic that only 12% of teens once they leave school stay with the church. That is a sad statistic.

I think Josh McDowell or the Barna research group had a similar statistic. (Maybe Ken Ham got it from Barna.) I know that Barna has a number of other startling and disturbing statistics about behaviors, attitudes, and lack of convictions among teens who claim to be Christians. It is so important to make sure you know what you believe, take ownership of it (responsibility for it), and stand firm in it. The world desperately needs answers, and Christian teens who have no convictions or whose lives don't match their profession have no answers to give.
