Goetheisrecognizedas one of the greatestGermanpoliticiansandauthors. Having keeninsight into the lifeandfuture of his nation hewrote, “The destiny ofour nation can be de-termined by the opin-ionsofouryouth!”Fewwoulddisagreewithhisobservation. Thestatesmenofournation say the same:“Thefuturelieswithouryouth.” If that is true,and it is, we must ad-mit that “the future ofouryouth lieswithus!”And since that is true,and it is, we must askourselves, “What arewe doing to prepareour youth to lead ournation?”Willtheyknowthe God of the Proph-etsandtheChristoftheApostles and disciplesof the early church?Will they learnand fol-
low and lead with the“faiththatwasoncede-livered to the saints?”Or will they surrendertheirlivestotheattrac-tionsofmaterialismandself-centeredness? Recent studies re-veal that 60% of ouryouthwillnolongerat-tendchurchwhenthenturn twenty. And eventhoughsomechurcheshavevibrantyouthpro-grams,theyarehavingnolonglastinginfluenceontheirlives.Fewmakea lifelong commitmentto Christ, to servingHim. It seems obviousthatweareentertainingbutnoteducating. What needs to bedone? Moses, onceagain, provides insightandadvice: “MayYourdeedsbeshowntoYourservants,Yoursplendortotheirchildren.” Thefactofthematteris that His deeds andsplendor can only beseeninourlives.Ifourfaithdoesnotwork forus,“why”theywillask,“should we believe inYourGod?”
