Youth ministry. We all know about it, I mean, aren't we all about it? Well what if I told you, we've got it all wrong? What if we're not doing things Gods way? What if ''youth ministry'' is not biblically approved? I'm getting confusing now aren't I? What if I told you we we're never meant to be separated? What if I told you, that though our motives are usually genuine- ''trying to reach young people for Christ''- that we are going about it in the wrong way? OK, really confused? I was too...Until my eyes were opened, and I saw the light.
Sometime in my thirteenth year, I wanted to become a youth pastor. I saw the need of my generation and I wanted to help- I still do. But after watching ''divided'' (links below) I was convinced that most methods used today for ''reaching young people'' are actually doing more harm than good. It was eye-opening, revelating and it gave me hope.
We as christians need to turn back to the solid bible truths and stop mixing the world with the church. (The below texts in ''BE A WITNESS'' reaffirm this.) We need to give our hearts, bodies, souls, beings, our everything over to God. We need to be truly surrendered to HIM and HIM alone. We need HIS power, HIS guidance, direction, protection. HIS saving grace, mercy and love. We need to come back to HIM! For we, all like sheep have gone astray every man to his own way and the LORD hath laid upon HIM (Jesus) the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:6)
We can change, we can live again, we can recommit ourselves to God again, we have this hope, there's hope, hope for this generation, hope for tomorrow. All we have to do is surrender fully to God... Will YOU take the stand today?
