"Already Gone" is Already Wrong"
Part II

There is a popular 'new' book out called "Already Gone" - it supposedly tells folks how to stop their children and teens from leaving the church.  Their alarming statistics and numbers are worth noting, but it doesn't take much to look around your church and find your kids are 'already gone.'

Their solutions, however, are tremendously wrong as well as hugely hypocritical.  In fact, according to the KJB, the solutions in their book will actually make things worse than when the parents first started to try to "fix" things.


This is just an outline of the pm audio sermon part II - the audios have much more information than these notes - I read quotes and their suggested solutions as well as show what the KJB says about it all.

Conclusion:  I do not support this book at all!  Both points the author makes are correct as to why the kids are leaving, but their solutions / answers are horrendously wrong - unscriptural - are to be considered false gospel and will only help them usher in the antichrist!


Part I - P.M.. service audio sermon notes

He is off to the wrong start - he uses an NASB, NOT a King James Bible.
He supports the old traditional church, no matter what denomination, so to him, his answer to the worlds problems is 'the church.'
Why does he write this book?  for money - see page 34-36 - for AIG.
It is all about him and who he is to write this book - Pages 26 & 35.

He sites facts on the numbers of folks that don't believe the bible is true, while he uses an NASB!!!!!
Isn't it obvious why young people see the hypocrisy there?
Not all kids are stupid, ya know.  They hear what they are told and they see what they see after they are told!

He made good comments about the lack of success from Sunday Schools over the year.
My observations are as follows:

He does mention another book, that I am sure is equally as wrong as this one, "Why Men Hate Going to Church!"

War today is a christian culture war, not a biblical war / Cultural relevance vs Biblical revelation from a KJB.

These are a few of my own observations with 13 years as a pastor as well as many years in education as I also am now am seeing must about all the young homeschool kids preparing to be gone when their door is opened!

AIG solution? Summary:
He sees the church as the answer - the authority of the church - and that is nothing any more different than a catholic church!

Don't buy the Book!
It is a washout - it only explains the problem the but their solution will only make things worse!
The King James Bible has all the answers and proper direction!

The entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us!
We learn from the "For" and we try to apply the 'TO!"
