Every week we do the traditional church services. We have church on Sunday morning and on Wednesday Nights. I look at the youth that come and wonder is this coming generation getting it. Do they understand that without Christ in their lives this life is meaningless. I wonder what is it that can make the youth that come to C4 on fire for God.
Recently this past week we remembered the Anniversary of our second son's death. He died on October 6, 2003 seven years ago. Honestly their is not a day that goes by that I do not miss that little boy. This past Wednesday there was a group of Middle/ High School students as we were closing the Wednesday Night Service that asked to pray for me and Stephanie. I was blown away,these guys are getting it. They know my strength to face this situation daily starts with God.
This generation that is coming up has to face the hardest situation since the great depression. We have a deficit that their grandchildren will be paying off. They have grown up with the threat of terrorism since 9/11 and war that has been going on as long as some of them are old.
Parents if your kids are not in church, what do think they will turn to when the harder times come in their lives? Get them in church, make the tough calls, stop letting them lead you and you what they want to do. It is time to make a stand and lead them. One day we will stand before God and answer for the things He has given us this includes our children. You will answer one day for how you raise your children they are a gift from God.
This generation needs to know Jesus. That's what it takes.
