First I would like to greet you in the name of Jesus. Let us get started. Today our Young is faced with so many Challenges & Temptations that if we are honest it is hard for them to live saved. They need a Preacher ( someone that lives and practice what they preach.), a Mentor (someone that believes in them and stick with them even when the times are tough and they fall into temptation.) or a real strong Mother (someone that's rooted and grounded in the word of God, a woman who has patience with them, that takes out time to call and check up on them. What really gets to me is how quick we (the church) judge them when they go to the world looking for fun and excitement, we must understand that the world has so much to offer our Young, They have the hypest music, the flyest clothes and a host of other things that captivate their attention. In no way am I trying to tell the church to compete with the world but we must step up our game. When I grew up in the church it was a sin to do just about anything, we couldn't go skating, play sports, or go to the school dance. Our lives was boring, that's why a lot of us quickly left the church when we turned 18 years old in search of something to fill that void. (Youth means energetic) it is very hard to keep our Young from expressing whats inside, they just need guidance and nurturing not criticism. So In my conclusion, the Church Community need to stop preaching at our Young and come together and think of ways to get our Young involved in some type of activity before we lose this generation.
Be Blessed:

I love how you spoke about how youth means "energy"! I'm going to personally step up my game to help energize this generation!
