Examining Youth Groups

Check out this terrific article (click HERE) posted over at DefendingContending that bluntly tell us what should be quite obvious.  Youth groups are so busy trying to relate to the kids, they have completely eliminated the Gospel and sound Biblical teaching from their programs.  I personally had a local youth Pastor tell me that he was fully aware that his “ask Jesus into your heart so he will be your best friend” message was unbiblical.  “But God can get their theology straightened out later in life, like he did mine” was his incredibly weak argument.  Wow!  “Be popular and hope God fixes the problems that are created”  I don’t recall that advice being given to young Pastor Timothy by the Apostle Paul.  Maybe I should re-read those books!
