Behind VBS

We have another VBS behind us.  We rejoice in the children that trusted in Christ as Savior and Lord.  We give Him all the glory and praise.  FBC Rogers has a talented group of young people-adults and teenagers.  They engaged the children in worship in an incredible way each day.

One great story was a 6 year old relating to his mother the purpose of our missions offering this week (which was Muslim Bible Day).  He told his mother that the offering was so that “munchkins” could have Bibles.  Well, “munchkins” probably need Bibles as much as anyone including Muslims.

We will continue our journey Sunday in Reaching Generation Next Now.  Despite the trends of this day, compromising the message of the Gospel and the Bible is not a viable option.  One of the reasons that this generation under 30 years of age struggles in embracing absolute truth is that so few have seen absolute truth espoused and practiced by their baby boomer parents, teachers, and coaches.  An incarnational ministry of truth will be necessary for reaching generation now, today.  Teenagers see through ritual and routine in their quest for authenticity.

Jesus was real and authentic.  That’s why sinners were attracted to Him.  Many of our younger generation are not rejecting the Gospel as much as they are rejecting our lack of passion, commitment, integrity, and authenticity.  I am looking ahead to a great Sunday.  May God transform us and conform us to the image of His Son.  Until next time. . .Wes
