This past Sunday our pastor continued a series on moving forward. He spoke about the upcoming generation and how we must effectively speaks to them in a manner that captures their interest and how they prefer to take in information. Times are changing and must be forward thinking as we fulfill the great commission with the upcoming generation. As the body of Christ we shouldn't be behind the times or resistant to change our tactics of reaching our youth. For instance Dr.Crute mentioned snackable information to paraphrase this means to give short quick and to the point information. Long boring lectures and condescending tones will only push them away so we must adjust our thinking.
Our message shouldn't be compromised but the methods should be current with the interest of our children. It is vital that our children know that we care about the things they care about and that their thoughts and ideas are valid. So it is important not only to talk with our youth but to also listen to them as well. Encourage their dreams and nurture their relationship with Christ. In the comments below tell me what are some ideas you may have for reaching the next generation in a new and exciting way.
