Why The Revoltion in Egypt is Dangerous for our Youth
February 16, 2011
by Brian Kirk | Patheos.comI’ll admit it. I’m as guilty as the next youth pastor. It is so easy to get preoccupied with the latest teen hot topics – Sex! Drugs! Rock-n-roll! Facebook! – that we sometimes forget the broader world that exists beyond the walls of the high school cafeteria and our cozy youth rooms. Truthfully, sometimes it’s just easier to ignore what’s happening in the world, particularly when some current events and issues have the potential to alter how our youth see the life of faith. Case in point: the revolution in Egypt in the past several weeks.
Of course, the dangerous answer to this question is “Yes” and your teens have only to look to the Jesus of scripture or the youth of Egypt to know this is true.
