It's Them! I'm Not The Problem!
But Our Church Youth Have been Leaving –
What's Wrong With Them? Hint: Maybe the
'wrong' is not all with 'them'. When our skin feels
cold, we look at the thermometer. It changes our
understanding from feelings to fact – it tells us 10
degrees too cold etc. When we adjust the furnace
control, the thermometer shows us the furnace is
doing its job.
Taking Your Church Temperature
The youth of most every church are leaving
and not returning, for a simple reason – the
attitudes of the church are shunning them – it's
cold to their needs and challenges in their present
world. A church that truly cares about its future,
needs to take its KID TEMPERATURE,
throughout the whole building and its programs –
on a regular basis too.
3.A - Kid Temperature Tips
In taking the kid temperature of your church, you
must first see teens most often are visual feeders.
Because their reading, writing, and typing skills
are not always up to par, they go for the
video/audio resources. Besides... video and audio
is faster, louder, and flashier. They like to create
things putting their own imagination to work.
It's like they want their creation to have their
stamp on it; that somehow says, “Hey. I'm no
dummy!” They love challenges. Boys on games,
girls on multitasking conversations and being the
fastest 'news' reporters of their on-line network.
Today it's a gigantic phenomenon called, “Social
Networking.” More specifically, boys like loud,
messy, high energy, construction, and
competition. The girls like feelings, fashion,
communication, and companions.
Just as important, we must fathom the
information tsunami our youth entered when they
were born. This is tough for us silver-haired
seniors to come to grips with. Right now, there is
more than 1 hour of video (free) uploaded to the
Internet's YouTube EVERY SECOND. In that
same second there are 3,500 photos uploaded to
Facebook. When it comes to geography, the
Internet can show you roads and scenery on any
spot on our planet. Machines follow commands
we speak to them, and go places no man has ever
gone. This means we need to be wise and caring
in the type of 'kid thermometer' we use. We can't
begin its use without deep caring prayer and
trusting God's promises in scripture.
