How to Lose Your Children

What is more important for training our children than youth groups, education curriculum, concert events, peer retreats, or a full-time youth pastor? What if its the example of the parent generation? Listen to the following quote, then spend some time, like me, mulling over its implications:

"The only way we are going to impact the world and the next generation is to prove that our faith in Christ is real and that it works. For countless Christians, I'm convinced it's real. My concern is whether or not we have the fruit to suggest it works... the gap between our theology and our reality is so wide we've set ourselves up for ridicule... some of us are working pretty hard at something that's hardly working." -Beth Moore, Believing God
