An exciting 45-minute lecture on the mass exodus of young people from the church.

I hope this shows up, I’ve never linked a Google video before.

UPDATE: It worked! WordPress rocks!

And here is another good lecture (composed of several parts) from William Lane Craig.

I think these lectures are great for reminding Christian parents that being a Christian is not just about NOT doing sins A, B and C and then feeling good about yourself. And it’s not about just trying to be happy in this life like the non-Christians – using Christianity as part of your happiness buffet. It’s about living your life as an enterprise in a way that increases your knowledge of and friendship with God. A relationship with God means being sensitive to his needs and concerns and acting in a way that takes his character into account.
