TM 231 - Teaching Youth with Confidence

Teaching Youth With Confidence - What are we trying to do with our teenagers? Asking this question to a number of youth workers and teachers results in a variety of answers. It is rather certain that most of the answers would be in some manner on target. However, it seems clear the one overall purpose of youth education is to fulfill the biblical mandate from Christ to change lives by making disciples (Matthew 28:18-20).

It is imperative that young people know and understand the foundational truths of Scripture. How shall teenagers know right from wrong if they do not understand biblical precepts? How can transformation take place if they do not learn to interact with the Word? Unfortunately, it appears that contemporary churched youth are ambivalent and confused about truth. They grow up in a climate where there is a denial of absolute truth. It is the responsibility of the teacher to help his or her students respond to these urgent life-related issues in a biblical way.
