Went to Josh McDowell's Seminar on Today's Youth.

63% of our churched youth don't believe Jesus is the Son of the one true God.
58% believe all faiths teach equally valid truths.
68% don't believe the Holy Spirit is a real entity.
70% don't believe an absolute moral truth exists.


And why do these beliefs matter? Those with such distorted views are:

200% more likely to physically hurt someone.
216% more likely to be resentful.
300% more likely to use illegal drugs.
600% more likely to attempt suicide.

Calling all Parents and Youth Ministers!

The statistics is staggering! We must do something about it!

Truth without Relationship leads to Rejection.
Rules without Relationship leads to Rebellion.

Parents say: "If it is true it will work."
Teens say: "If it works it is true."

Teens look for Authenticity. We need to step into their world. We need to let them know they are loved unconditionally. Show and Tell.
