                We can either whine about how the new generation chooses to worship, or we can worship and minister with them. But we can’t do both.

                "In times of doubt, difficulty, and trials, our fundamental beliefs about God and our faith are revealed. So how can Christians find faith in the midst of doubt? How can they trust God’s plan when their lives seem out of His control, and prayers seem to go unanswered or, sometimes it feels, even unheard?"
                    
                        Scripture:

                As I prepared to share this with friends, I had to ask myself, “Why should a pastor attend a conference like this?”
I came up with four reasons why pastors should attend conferences, seminars, and/or workshops.

                Redefining members (not pastors and staff) as the “church” and the community (not members) as the “customer” would reverse the lens through which churches evaluate nearly every decision they make today.

                Again and again in Scripture, biblical characters experience contentment amidst struggle or difficulty in ways that go beyond just circumstance.

                Culture is one of things that is hard to define but easy to feel.  You certainly feel it when you visit a foreign country and you bump up against different customs and ways of doing things, but you also feel it when you enter a business or a church.  There is a certain style or personality of an organization that is an expression of culture.  I sometimes think of culture as the organization’s “way” of doing what they do.  There is a Ritz Carlton “way” of doing customer service.  There is a Starbucks “way” of doing business.  There is a Crossroads Church “way” of doing ministry.

                What if the biggest danger ahead for Christians today is something we don’t expect, but should?

                It saddens me that some people see the need for change in the church, yet God’s people keep doing the same thing as if minor tweaking will stop the decline of the Western church.
