youth problem.

I feel some times that my fellow youth members do not care. They all say they do but it don't seem like it. Everyone in our church thinks our youth is doing good, but from me being apart of the youth I can see more then what they can. Some times I call them out. Telling them they are not doing what they are supposed to be doing.

One of them are to busy worrying about her boy friend. One is to worried about her friends. Others are to worried about what our people think of them. So, they don't do the things they are suppose to be doing and they get mad when i tell them something.

Like I said from being apart of the youth group i can see what the adults can't see. I been doing a little thinking and I don't really want to be apart of the youth anymore if the other youth are going to continue like this. I tried to help but they are to involved with other stuff.

Is it bad if I stop going to youth group and see if i can sit with the adults on Wednesday nights?

The rest of the youth group might appreciate it if you do.

The bottom line is, it's not your job to convince the rest of the youth group of anything, or make them say/think/feel/do a single thing. Your job is to say and do what God wants you to say and do, when He wants you to say and do it.

You might plant, you might water, but God will cause any growth that happens. Maybe you are farther along in your walk with God, and maybe you're not. It's really not for you to know or judge. A lot of stuff goes on that you don't see.
Is it love or condescension that makes you say the things you say? I would suggest that you ask God to make your motives right in this, and be used BY Him, in His time.

The best thing you can do for your youth group and also for the adults is be a strong light for the truth, they all act the way they do because thay refuse to come to a saving faith, repenting of thier sins and worldliness, church isn't a club or a social gathering to have fun and games, gossip, and act as the word does.

The churches today resemble more of the world than the house of God, and if you stand for the truth, and live your life accordingly, you may not be in that group or church too long, but that is counting the cost Jesus warned about!

Hope this helps!

Mat 21:44 And he who falls on this Stone shall be broken, but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
In this often miss used verse, Jesus is referring to Himself, as the stone (rock) and He is making a strong statement what real repentance is. Either you fall on Him, in humble repentance, 2Co 7:10 For the grief according to God works repentance to salvation, not to be regretted, but the grief of the world works out death.
2Co 7:11 For behold this same thing (you being grieved according to God); how much it worked out earnestness in you; but also defense; but also indignation; but also fear; but also desire; but also zeal; but also vengeance! In everything you approved yourselves to be clear (pure) in the matter.
Repentance is much more than a brief confession, where you admit you are a sinner, apologizing to God for your bad behavior. No it’s a mandatory commitment, to come clean and pure before God, where you fall on the stone, broken and contrite, assuming nothing from Him, where the clearing and casting out of doors all known vile sins are engulfed in a season of godly sorrow!
The other choice, is listening to all the false teachings today, where they dismiss any real repentance and replace it with a mere confession, and tell the false convert they should sin less, or try to stop their sins, but it’s never a command.
Many unless they come to real repentance and faith, will be ground to powder, which is the chaff that is cast away and thrown out, of no use to the master.
This brokenness is not fake, or trying to earn anything from God, it’s from the heart, as the sinner yields to the strong conviction of the spirit, seeking to do anything to come clean and pure before God!
The false churches teach you come into the kingdom double minded, still in bondage to sin and worldliness, and God will put(impute) the righteousness of His precious son on to the sinner, clothing them in His righteousness, while God looks away from their continued sinning and disobedience.
Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that he also will reap.
Gal 6:8 For he sowing to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh. But he sowing to the Spirit will reap life everlasting from the Spirit.
So either you come to a true saving faith through repentance and faith proven by your deeds as described above, by throwing yourself broken on the rock, or you remain in the lie that says you were born a sinner, and the remedy is accepting Jesus as your substitute and covering, and the rock falls on you, where you are ground to powder, and cast away!

Your situation seems akin to mine. When I joined my current youth group I was already 17 and about 3 years older than the next oldest person in the group. Over the past three years I've seen a consistent trend amongst the fellow members of my youth group. We're not very well funded nor is our church a very fancy building. It has a basketball hoop thing but that's about as fancy as we get. Worlds of Fun and Acquire the Fire are staples for the youth group, or as best as we can.

The problem is, it seems for the most part kids only want to show up when there's a special activity like a trip. Then for a couple weeks afterward they will stick around but before you know it, other things become the priority. This is the second summer in a row that youth group will be canceled for the summer (partially due to summer jobs which, hey, I suppose is a partially valid excuse).

Honestly, if you don't think you can handle being in that youth group, then don't attend it. You don't have to go to youth group to be a "good Christian" or grow in your faith. Feel free to be with the adults if that's the level you're at. If any of the teens look down on you for it... well, it doesn't really matter how they feel about it, IMO.

If you really want to help them out, you still can - with the right heart, and the right indication from God, you can speak with them. A certain level of grace (and patience) is required; we've got to remember that we still struggle with stuff too, be it big or small. Every day, a lot (if not all) of us go through tiny 'course corrections' in which we shift our eyes/focus back onto God.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS,BLESS YOU ALLWAYS SISTER POPCLICK.
