    Failed to set a godly example - or looked like Christianity was a whole lot
    of work and not much fun? Christians are supposed to have JOY. Too many
    people are far more concerned with 'Thou shalt not' than with joy. The fruit
    of the spirit is attractive. Fault finding is not.

    Perhaps what Howard is saying here is that it would
    be useful to hear why 93% of the folk in NAS have
    little or no interest in religion and particularly
    Christianity. I have an unpleasent feeling that a
    large part of the reason might be because of
    Christians.

    It is strange how the very driving force of Western
    civilization and the very concept of relentlessly
    seeking truth and speaking for justice would end up
    being cast aside as "useless". Anyway, perhaps the
    real problem is that we have failed to set a real
    example in modern times about how to live a Godly
    life.

    So need I remind anyone of my exit (about Grace)
