I was saved when I was about 15. Since that time (with the exception of a falling away in college and the re-building of my foundation time after that) I have been on fire for the Lord.
The interesting thing is that I would appear in youth groups that were run, in a manner of speaking, like: "Let's get this Bible study out of the way then we can get to having some fun." Even when I fell in college and was trying to get back up, I got offered coffee and pancake breakfasts more so than Jesus Christ.
So what's the issue? Why does everyone seem to think youth is a time to not be serious about God? Even this Young Adults Forum involves "silly people" in its description....and just a casual glance of the forum topics I see blatant sin, immaturity, and a lack of accountability.
Paul never created an atmosphere for Timothy to be lackadaisical about his faith. Why do we?
