I showed this one http://steadfastlutherans.org/?p=11806 to my thirteen year old daughter. Guess which kind of youth gathering she'd rather go to? Guess why?
My two cents say that young people will never grow up to be mature, well-discipled adults if today's adults don't work to mold the young people's affections. Our Lord has given us the task of leading our families. So why is it that so many parents, fathers especially, exercise kindly neglect of their children's spiritual lives, turning them over, at best, to a Sunday school program for an hour or so a week, maybe a catechism class sometime, and then letting them be entertained in ways that are contradictory to sound growth? You are what you eat. You are what you drink. You are what you listen to. You are what you sing.
