The problem is not a lack of Christian groups it is
a lack of faith on the part of these groups and thier
leadership. UBF at least seemed to be doctrinally
sound when I first started.



The problem is that tendentially young people seem to confuse "activism" with "genuine faith".
Most Christians live very humble, modest lives caring for their family and friends and church - you can't pick them out.
And then there's those "other" guys, always busy always active talking to people stating that faith must have works etc. Yes, it sounds right.

But what they have is activity and their own concepts - faith is something different.
I'd delve into that deeper but with those people, faith is equal to activity. The Bible, however, has a different definition (Heb11:1).

In Christ,
Mike K.
