• Why Mark is angry!

    June 24, 2008

    Mark Broadbent has two articles in the excellent Neoleader site about why he is angry about the church in the Western world. His most recent entry cites some excellent examples why we may not be experiencing success in our mission to share the gospel in Australia.

    To many people I’ve met have told me that there’s a reason we are not experiencing evangelistic success in Australia: ‘Australians are just too hard to reach’. I certainly agree that we are not the most spiritual nation on Earth, but I just can’t buy into their argument.

    HERE’S WHY:

    We’ve given Australians every reason to walk away from Christianity…
    1. Catholic priests committing pedophilia
    2. TV evangelists asking for money
    3. Boring Chapel Services at Private High Schools
    4. Boring Church Services :)
    5. Ned Flanders (I love the Simpsons, but Ned is not helping our cause)

    (If you’re not sure you agree, just watch an episode of The Chasers. They regularly find reasons to pay out Christians).

    Go take a look here and here and share your comments here please!
