RE: "Why I Won't Send My Future Children To Church Youth Groups/Sunday School" My Video Blog..

in #parenting7 years ago

I have both worked with youth and at times have had my kids in youth group. So often the emphasis is on behavior modification and not heart transformation, and the gospel of grace is absolutely lost in it all.

Sort:  

I'll say amen to that, @tlester
I do agree with you that the gospel of grace is often not focused upon and it ends up being a place where there is too much attention on activities and ways to reform behaviour. You must watch Joseph Prince?

Actually i have only watched Joseph Prince a time or two. I am more of a John Piper/ John Macarthur kind of girl.

Prince preaches on the gospel of grace rather than on works oriented gospel. I used to listen to John MacArthur on Moody radio almost every night when I was growing up.

I think he's probably one of the best expository teachers of our time. Just my opinion. Thanks for your post. Really great.

You're very welcome and thank you for your comments, too! :)
