As I was doing some research for a Sunday School lesson I came across this quote.. It deeply inspired and spurred me on to do more.. and believe in the young people more.. BeliEvE in myself more - through Gods enabling empowerment.
“It has been frequently asserted that the hope of the church lies in its young
people. Upon their shoulders the burdens of the work must some day rest. Upon
their hearts now the responsibility of the work should press….It is the duty of the
church to throw around these young lives those environments which will most
quickly adapt them for places of enlarged usefulness….Above everything else we
see the importance of keeping our young people intensely spiritual…We believe
that our young people will find their greatest joy in God’s glad service, and hence
we feel that no provisions of a social aspect need be introduced….Let our young
people strive by every legitimate means to enlist the interest of others,
endeavoring to win them for God and holiness.-
Committee on Young People’s Societies” - JPJ
