As many of you know, the culture
today is teaching the young among us so many things that are in opposition to
scripture. Marriage is under attack. Relationships can be causal
and do not require commitment. Gender identity is in flux. Alcohol
and drugs are acceptable to be used for recreation. And so many other
things are being instilled by the world. My fellow believers, as those who make up church of Christ Jesus, we
are called to combat this misinformation.
So, how can you help? Pray and
seek! Pray for children and youth to attend a local church. Pray that God speaks to the heart of each child and youth.
Pray that the truth of Scripture counters the falsehood preached by the
culture. Pray that each child and youth comes to a saving knowledge of
Christ. Seek for opportunities to serve in the children and youth
ministry in your local church. Seek for any occasion to invest in the young with whom you have influence.
Brothers and sisters, if we pray for and invest in the children and youth among us, then they will become strong believers and cultural influencers for the cause
of Christ.
