I am thankful for youth ministries because children get to associate with other children with common values and discover valuable lessons about their faith. I highly respect adults that are courageous enough to lead these types of ministries. It takes effort and creativity to inspire young minds. There is always a fine balance between teaching them how to live the gospel without these groups becoming merely clubs with a religious theme. Not all youth ministries are the same and we need to be careful not to generalize. Youth programs might be a product of our time and culture but take them out and you will see our youth turn to the fallen world. Let's not forget that our God came down to our level to raise us up-youth ministry is no different.Ric Ballardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858141502612319503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784015174011139.post-23949930690216732902012-04-25T01:12:29.985-04:002012-04-25T01:12:29.985-04:00I can't believe someone has written a book abo...I can't believe someone has written a book about what I've been thinking for decades.
