During today's worship, I felt so burdened seeing the youths so unintereseted in connecting with God. Those that I saw really praising and worshipping God were mostly the leaders and of course some other youths.

I think the sad part was when we sang "Church On Fire". And so we sang

The Holy Spirit is here and His power is real
Anything can happen and it probably will
Something very good something good is going on around here

There's a light that shines to make the dark disappear
A power at work but there's nothing to fear
Something very good something good is going on around here

This is a church on fire
This is the Holy Spirit flame
We have a burning desire
To lift up Jesus' name
Let the fire burn in every heart
To light the way, defeat the dark
Let the flame of love burn higher
This is a church
This is a church on fire

Yes. Indeed the Holy Spirit was in the service hall. But were the people responding? No. I was really thankful for Pastor Cui Xian to make that altar call during worship for people to respond. But there were still people out there who refused to be moved.

How can we possibly sing that song with ease? That we are the church on fire? The first question that came to my mind was "Are you sure?". Are we sure that we are a church that is on fire but yet we are not doing anything about it? How can this whole church grow together when there are those who aren't even sure of why they are in the service hall?

Let's keep praying for R-age alright? I can't help but to feel so burdened when I see christians attending the service but are neither interested in God nor His word. It's sad. Really. Especially for those who grew up in Sunday School. Please keep praying and interceding for our youths and the church. I really want to see growth. Quality and quantity growth.

Please.
