Just read a most interesting article about Young people and the church. Or to be more exact, "How to Rid your Church of Young People". Written tongue in cheek from the perspective of a young person, the author is a senior at Indiana University...and he has a valid question...do we really want Young People in our church?
I realized that perhaps these Christians were quietly trying to rid themselves of young people and simply did not know how to finish the job. Young people are, after all, opinionated and hormonal, and they tend to use copious amounts of technology. It is understandable why any person with an interest in routine and purity would want to exclude this obnoxious demographic. So, in a spirit of Christian solidarity, I decided to help these churches expel young people once and for all.
Take a moment and read it all...and please don't be offended if you recognize someone you know!
