Then Judah said, "The strength of the
laborers is failing, and there is so much
rubbish that we are not able to build the
wall." And our adversaries said, "They will
neither know nor see anything, till we come
into their midst and kill them and cause the
work to cease." So it was, when the Jews
who dwelt near them came, that they told
us ten times, "From whatever place you
turn, they will be upon us."

Did you know that in a given week there are
over 102 million people attending church? In a
given year if you take all the people who attend
professional sports there are 94 million who
attend, in a year. They kind of blows the myth
of people needing to be more passionate about
God than sports.
For ever 100 worshipers in their seventies on
a typical weekend there are 160-200 in their
twenties. That kind of blows the myth that
young people just don’t come to church any
more.
