Bible Based Ministry

This made my day. As a youth pastor for 10 years, the most important lesson I learned was not about cool games, amazing programs, or even how to communicate with parents. The most important lesson I learned was to teach and preach God's word without fail. When I finally figured this out I did not experience explosive growth. There were no parades put on by my pastor or the parents. In reality a few kids ended up leaving our ministry. In the end I did see students become more committed to the faith they claimed and I did see students begin to take evangelism and applying a Christian world view to their life.

According to the Christian Post youth ministries are getting rid of the fluff and starting to see that God's word is more powerful then cool games and fashionable programs. The apostles understood this, it is about time the rest of us caught on.
