Train Up A Child
By Joe Chesser In a book I have been reading (Family Based Youth Ministry by Mark DeVries), I came across an interesting concept. “The crisis (in youth ministry) is that we are not leading teenagers to mature Christian adulthood.” The following is a “contrast between the kinds of attitudes we hope our youth will grow out of and those we hope they will grow into.” First will be listed...
