Underestimating Youth




Reaching Your World with Luis Palau show

Summary: You know, this is the first time in history when some of our most successful businessmen, entrepreneurs, and CEO’s are young. Mark Zuckerberg, for instance, founded the popular social networking site Facebook when he was in college. Other entrepreneurs have developed formulas or written books that have pushed us forward as a culture by the time they were teenagers. And yet, for some reason, as older Christian men and women, we still find it hard to talk to young people about faith. Perhaps we don’t think young people can comprehend the depth of Jesus’ mercy and grace—or perhaps we are afraid of appearing uncool. But wherever you are today, I urge you to consider the next generation. Think of them as future leaders, future presidents, and future decision-makers. Don’t you want them to know about Jesus? Don’t you want them to know the Gospel? Take advantage of this time in their lives when you can influence them. The Bible says in Matthew 19:14, “Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” This week, pray for the children and young adults in your life. Then, find a time to share with them the Good News of Jesus Christ. This is Luis Palau
