For all you youth leader types out there (ministers, SS teachers, small group leaders, etc.), here's a great quote, that is actually a great idea, that can actually become a great ministry paradigm. It is from JD Tomlin who works for Student Life in an article about the future of youth ministry.
"Youth leaders must ask, 'What will bring glory to God?' rather than 'What will bring students to our church?'"
Isn't that good? Of course the rub is in why does it have to be "rather than"? Why can't it be what will bring glory to God and bring students in? I suppose if it brings glory to God then the elect will be drawn to it. What do you think?
