Mark Broadbent
Reggie McNeal shares some inspiring facts about the growth of Christianity...
> Christianity is exploding and is the fastest growing religion in the world.
> Africa has jumped from 3% Christian to 47% Christian in 100 yrs in spite of AIDS, poverty, civil war etc...
> A group of house church leaders planted 6 churches on a bus trip on the way back from a conference.
> Post Tsunami Indonesia, entire villages are converting to Christianity.
> In many places in the world there is a Pentecost every hour.

NONE OF THIS IS TAKING PLACE IN THE WEST!!!

AND IT MADE ME ANGRY...
...It made me angry at all the church leaders I have met who have settled.
...It made me angry at all the Christians I meet who don't give a rip about lost people.
...It made me angry at all the competition I see amongst churches.
...It made me angry at all the minor issues that get us sidetracked from the main issue.
...It made me angry at all the churches that think they are doing a good job despite the fact that they have stopped reaching people.

And lastly... It made me angry at myself.
...I am angry at myself for losing sight of God's power.
...I am angry at myself for not expecting God to work.
...I am angry at myself for not praying and fasting like crazy.
...I am angry at myself for not being far more aggressive in my efforts to reach out to people far from God.
...I am angry at myself for allowing other agendas to get in the way of the main agenda.  
...I am angry at myself for not giving absolutely everything to the cause of Christ.

Am I alone?
