What do you really think about Christianity?

So, I've started reading a book called 'unChristian'. Absolutely brilliant book where researchers have spent three years researching people's views are about Christianity. However, the majority of those who have been asked are people who do not attend church or have little connection with the Christian faith, and they are all aged under 29. 


Now, the book is about Christianity in America, however, the basic elements and the amount that I have already likened to the UK is unreal!


The research has looked over many things, from how we 'label' people who don't go to church, to the reasons why so many people are staying well clear of the church. 


Now I'm not going to give you a book review, however, after beginning to read this book, I feel frustrated, let down and annoyed. However, I also feel challenged, motivated and fired up to help change the perception of Jesus around, not religion, but the Name and Actions of Jesus! 


Have a read, it's well worth it.....if your up for some touch reflection on your own faith and of those around you..

There isn't any more counting.....It's here!!

I've given up counting down the days. 
It feels like the Big Easter Blessing is here, mobile unit yesterday, more egg dropping.


I have realised that I love egg dropping and giving out leaflets, to give people an opportunity to come to an event where the name of Jesus is the priority is great! It's a privilege! 


So yeah, the week is here, and Jesus is moving, he never stops to be honest!


I have one question for you all to ponder if you come to church, if you don't attend church, then the second question is for you!


Firstly, asked by a friend in church a week or two ago, what are we at church for?


Secondly, what is stopping you from coming to church?


Have a great week! I know I will!
