the youth group was pretty good. my friends are in the band, so i support them especially b/c they sing amazing praise songs that truly touch me.
but i see a weakness in Surge(name of the youth group). the kids there seem to be there more for friends, instead of God.
I plan on asking pastor Rob if i can lead a sermon one day, or make an addition, and light a fire under this youth group and get them to realize the reality and seriousness of christianity.
i feel that not enough kids are truly magnifying God during worship.
most of the kids(me2) are near the stage during the "up beat" rock/gospel songs, dancing and clapping and stuff, which is great, but i feel they are just not worshipping God, but they are treating it more like a social meeting with friends.
Some kids during worship are getting on other guy's shoulders, getting picked up, touching and grabbing other kids...ect.
And when the "grown up worship songs" come on, nobody lifts up their hands to bring praise to God but me and Joe..which is not right.
over all, i have a deep feeling that a lot of the kids need a REAL Revolutionary Relationship with Christ.
Bottom line:
This is not a place to come and be with friends. It is a place to be with the Lord.
i feel a calling to "pump up" this youth group with the holy spirit...
