Why Christian Kids Leave the Faith Book

Shel Arensen is right on target when he says, "Whether we realize it or not, we desperately need to spend time with God." Many of us realize it, but only sporadically. No sooner do we sense he's the one we're longing for, that he's the cold refreshment for our parched throats, then we turn to lesser streams that cannot quench our thirst. We let that still small voice of God get buried under the din of our busyness. Television, radio, email, classes, sports, business trips, chores, hobbies. Up early, to bed late. Music turned up loud. Talk shows where we hear from everybody but the One who knows everything.
