"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek." (Rom. 1:16)

Some Christians insult our young folks by saying that the gospel will not convert their hearts and keep them close to the Lord. Instead, they urge that we reach our children with baseball, hot dogs, coke, and keep them with church camps, trips to amusement parks, and hayrides. Our young people's hearts are not so hardened by sin that the message of the gospel will not penetrate their consciences. Many of them have a love for the Lord which has outgrown that of many older folks. (From Mike Willis)

Let us not use man-made gimmicks to win and hold our young people. The gospel is God's power to save. It is His means of reaching willing hearts.
