Almost 26 years on I am still going on with the Lord and I definitely am not sitting looking at the milk, and I do eagerly work for the Lord in a variety of ways and have done so for the last 26/27 years and will continue to do so as long as He gives me strength to do so.<BR/>I have tried a few ideas recently at my own church both on my own and with the worship group when they have been 'planned' to lead worship and we often try new things when we take joint services either at the Central Hall or the local Anglican Church who we have worked with for some time now. I think I have mentioned some of these in previous posts and will possibly re-post some of them so that people can see what they were and how they went.<BR/>You may be interested to know I visited your church in the early 1980's when I was the road manager of a gospel rock band called 'Blazing Apostles'.Fat Prophethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05180456857091238743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229767916391856208.post-6115965417902579912008-04-22T13:38:00.000+01:002008-04-22T13:38:00.000+01:00OliveI'm a little confused, in your comment over o...Olive<BR/>I'm a little confused, in your comment over on MP's blog you seemed to be saying to me that we should quietly go about our evangelical business and in the end perseverance will win out, now you appear to be asking FP to take a proactive approach and work for change. How do we do both? The only way to make sure we don't see these spillages again is to take the approach I described and work actively for a change of opinion across the board. Worse than having spilt milk is looking at it, thinking we will clear it up later and then letting it go stale.Son of the Prophethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044154559920544742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229767916391856208.post-51669257563576491662008-04-22T12:51:00.000+01:002008-04-22T12:51:00.000+01:00The point is that a link was broken.

Today's lost generation is the fruit of the liberal war of attrition. If we do not repent, then it will happen again. We have to learn from history. It is not enough to accentuate the positive. Sin, which is negative, has to be faced and dealt with otherwise why did Jesus have to die?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229767916391856208.post-57001677718091413552008-04-22T12:15:00.000+01:002008-04-22T12:15:00.000+01:00The lost generation of which you write appears to ...The lost generation of which you write appears to be your own generation. The 'lost generation' being spoken about in the Church now is a younger generation and their are many reasons for this, not just the negligence of the existing curch congregation. The world has changed a great deal since I was young and very much since you were young. It used to be the case that when you went to university you joined Methsoc or Christian Union and you faith was strengthened. Methsoc and CU are not so strong today and now it seems that our young people are drawn into other groups which lessen or destroy their faith. Those who stay at home have so many other attractions to take them away from Sunday worship, from out-of-school activities right up to working on Sundays (and getting extra pay). Stop crying over spilt milk, FP, mop up the milk and eagerly work not only to prevent such spillages in the future but to change the situation. What ideas do you have to share with us?Olive Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757984452846354285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229767916391856208.post-64369448217172375592008-04-22T07:35:00.000+01:002008-04-22T07:35:00.000+01:00Thanks FP.

There are so few of us who have made it through this experience that it is important we share these experiences with wider methodism. <BR/><BR/>By learning where we went wrong in the past we may learn for the future. I wonder what the message was in the lost propechy that you describe?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295136895729093238noreply@blogger.com
