Kategoria BISAC: Religion >> Christian Ministry - Youth

The world is changing faster than any of us can keep up, and we've all seen the statistics about students leaving the church. They aren't very positive. In this world of constant change, what if we could create a ministry that has a lasting impact? The generation coming behind us needs to hear the gospel message louder and clearer than ever before. This means there is no time for complaining about negative statistics. We need to get to work fulfilling the great commission with the next generation. The church and the gospel aren't fossils of the past, but a bright beacon of hope for the...

This "must read" book is a biblically-based guide that will help steer you onto the path of recovery from those unrighteous bad habits that are destroying your relationship with God; to a newly found commitment to walk according to His ordained purpose for your life.

OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE THIRTY - SIXTH INTERNATIONAL COVENTION OF

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR

Held at Grand Rapids, Michigan July 8 - 13, 1937

Description of "Where have all the Young People Gone" By R. Channing Johnson Today's younger and older folk have grown up in different worlds and are different people. Communications between generations is often painful. The older folk tend to be church people. Generations X and Y are not: perhaps 90 percent of them have written off Christianity as irrelevant. To explain what has happened, the first part of this book looks at our history since 1945. You may have lived through these events but will be surprised by the results. If you are younger, you'll see the events that have shaped you and...

God didn't create people to just lounge around in a garden, napping in the sun and popping grapes. We were made to be active agents in creation, God's ambassadors to the world This theologically-rich curriculum traces the missional meta-narrative woven throughout scripture, from creation and the call of Abraham, to Christ's revolutionary kingdom and the Spirit-empowered church. Students will be equipped with practical ideas on how to live purposefully as part of the body of Christ, and challenged to go "all in," developing their gifts and pursuing God's calling on their life. Each session...

Preface

THIS book of recitations for Junior societies is, in one point at least, different from all books of recitations with which I am acquainted.

Much thought has been spent upon this unique feature, and I trust that these directions will be found to be not only workable and varied, but helpful in interpreting the spirit of the recitations to the speakers them- selves, and to the children that...

WHY THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN

There are two kinds of books. One kind couldn't be helped. The other kind could be helped, but their writers were compelled to write, by a sense of duty to a cause or an idea, or they were written with an eye to the royalties. Not that one kind is nec- essarily any better than the other. The author of the couldn't-be-helped book may maunder on about his favorite subject as a lover babbles about his mistress, never quite happy unless he...
