PART 1
Why are families so busy these days? Why is it that we, the church, feel the need to create more programming, more events, and more business for our families? Do we think we can compete with world for the thing that is most precious to our families, and that being their time? The world is ready and already has invested everything it has to keep our people occupied and distracted. The world does things very well and with excellence, and they can because they take a "sky's the limit" approach.
Does this mean that the world is better than the church? No way! It means that the world knows the stakes are high and they are willing to do whatever it takes, in order to keep people away from from what matters most! And that is to seek God and love Him with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, and with all our strength. And to love our neighbor as yourself!
What should we, the church do about this?

My church's Family Challenge is, in part, a response to this sort of issue. The idea is to encourage families to consider God, his creation, his Church and his people without adding to their burdens. It's early days yet but, so far, it's looking good.
