“Christians” in Britain have Had Enough

baptism and youth ministry“Christians” in Britain that were baptised as infants have had enough. They saw they were too young to know what was happening and now want out.

Not just out of the church. They want their names removed from the records. Some have even called child baptism “a form of child abuse.”

That’s post-Christian Europe for you. Some say America isn’t far behind.

We must teach–nay, show–our teens that this “church thing” is so much more than religion! People run from a set of religious rules. But I can’t think of anything more attractive than the loving forgiveness and rich life that comes from knowing God.
