The INVOLVED Generation

Here is a fancinating article about the current teenage generations passion to be involved...

Generation Y gets involved

Along with the web-site are some more links that bring to light characteristics and qualities of Generation Y.

In the article we read about students who are becoming actively involved in the causes of their world. They are active in issues of AIDS, poverty, education, the enviroment, etc.

My question is this: In light of this article what would our student's ministry look like if we became actively involved in the things that students are already concerned and involved with. What if our student's ministry created opportunities to lead our city in cleaning our enviroment? What if our student's ministry created opportunities to redeem someone from poverty? What if our student's ministry created opportunities to collect and distribute resources to single mothers, orphans and prisoners.

This is the student ministry I want to be apart of. I do not want to be a youth pastor who becomes a social planner. While I love hanging with student's at Six Flags, or the high school football game, I want to be about something more than recreation.

Thoughts?

Pee & Poo?


This is so incredibly silly that I can't understand why I want it. Actually it's pretty gross when I think about it.
Then again I've never been sure why you would want to purchase underwear meant for others to see. Who is going around showing people the pictures of the un-mentionables?

Here's an interesting story.

Captain Underpants and the peeved principal

While I think that the girls were being creative in their costumes, I think that they probably knew they would be pushing the envelope of what is acceptable.
I'm reminded of a student, during my ninth grade year, who came dressed as a giant condom, and then acted like he didn't understand while the school administration asked him to take it off.

If you are going to push boundaries you have an idea that others may be offended and upset. Nudity, vulgarity and bathroom humor, even if it's the hint of the idea, will always push boundaries.

If you push boundaries, do not come back with, "I don't understand why their upset." You have a clue. Just take responsibility.

I more turned off by the fact that others try to convince me that they are clueless, than the issue behind their cluelessness.

The Sad State of Our Culture

This story makes me sad. The fact that we are such a "sue" happy people, unwilling to take responsiblity for our own actions, and even less willing to forgive with ease.
There was a time when children could ride bikes with full body armor, or could play "war" in the woods, or...oh I could go on and on.

Here's the story...
School bans tag, other chase games
Something had to happen that set a precident for this school proceed with these actions.

Sad,
Sad,
Sad!

Um...

This news story caught my eye. Obviously it's a positive thing to see this strip club go out of business and being replaced with a ministry that is promoting our God, but this seems wierd....

I can definitely see this youth minister getting a lot of phone calls from parents.

Too Comfortable?

A church in Scotland was using this image to advertise their church.
I'm all for a church that promotes a "come as you are" enviroment, but this may be a little too much.
But it does have something to say to us.
Are we the type of church community and family that welcomes everyone who steps through the door, despite their personal failures and success?
Are we excited about everyone who enter our church?
