Brighten
the churches and the kids will stay
By JOHN HATCHER

According
to the Southern Baptist Convention's Council on Family Life, 85 percent
of the children raised in evangelical homes leave church at the age
of 18, never to return. This tragic statistic can be interpreted to
mean that 85 out of 100 kids presently enrolled in our children and
youth departments will be out of the church when it comes to their own
personal choice! Indeed, the law says that at age 18, the youth are
free to do what they like. And one of the things they like to do is
drop out of church. Why? Let me give you what I think.
