@sinbach so great! These people are serious. Yesterday I met an Iranian man (in our house church meeting in Sweden) who has been 40 yrs in Sweden. The only person he is in contact with in Iran is his Muslim mother, with whom he's got a tense relationship. He wanted us to pray for both her and him. His eyes teared up when I wanted to talk about Iran with him and what I have heard. For instance that these people are ready to die for Christ. He said that he's been into lukewarm Christian religion in Sweden which has led him away from the Lord, but lately he's wanted to take his faith more seriously.
@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter praying against any and all powers the Ol Serpent thinks he has against us - we are covered by the blood of the most Holy Lamb!!

In light of your podcast with @bethany when I stumbled on this I thought of you
This is pretty distressing reading and very blunt - "Men will be absent from church by 2028 at the current rate" and the departure of men is, according to statistics anyway, "speeding up"
It states Mentioned that men are increasingly not applying to be priests/vicars/ministers etc
Church attendance in the UK has dropped by 50% since 1950, and "has become a place by women for women"
Also, that two thirds of the UK Christian populations do not attend a church.........
Those few quotes made me re-read them several times!
@bethany @sinbach yep...some of those quotes are really upsetting
Especially that 2/3 of british Christians don't attend a church... We're currently part of that 2/3 while we continue to get past, well, lets just call them 'troubles
My passion has historically been to reach the lost in church...maybe I need to start thinking about the 2/3...especially since we're part of those numbers
Interesting. This little device in China can shut down loud speakers from 80 meters away.
How would you use it?

"A report by the Swedish national council for crime prevention said earlier this year that Sweden is the only European country where fatal shootings have risen significantly since 2000, primarily because of the violent activities of organized gangs."
