“The Family Cult” Part 1 of 3
 Don’t chuck your Youth Ministry 

 
      What is the family cult?  If you don’t know the answer to that question, consider yourself blessed.  The family cult is a name that I have given to a movement that is gaining ground in fundamental churches.  It emphasizes the family above all things.  While I agree that the family is extremely important, they take things to absurd proportions.  For example, according to this movement, Sunday school is bad because it divides the family.  Sunday evening services are bad because it takes the family out of the home.  Instead, they encourage a Sunday evening family worship time with the father as the patriarch of the home leading the proceeding.  Of course, I call that family devotions and I think that is something that should be done during the week.  It is not something that you do instead of church.  In addition, while public school is obviously bad, this movement paints all Christian schools with the same brush as public schools since they take children away from the family.  Youth groups as well as all other age specific activities should be stopped.  They also use terms such as “family centered church” instead of “program centered church”.

The tip stated how important it was to be socially relevant and how we should order magazine’s teens read, watch what they watch and quote movie phrases to them. In an effort not to do be unkind, we didn’t reprint the tip, nor do we want to single them out, because it’s all too common of a philosophy in the youth ministry today. So we put together 21 Tips For Youth Leaders. We don’t think this is ALL it takes to lead a biblical youth ministry, but we do believe it will go a long way in helping you out. So without further ado, here are 21 Tips For Youth Leaders.








  1. Rely on the Bible, not the latest trend, book, or method.
  2. The Holy Spirit. Get to know Him, He is as “relevant” as it gets.
  3. Jesus Saves. It’s not your charm, humor or personality that leads anyone to Christ. Lift up the cross of Christ and HE will draw all men to Him.
  4. Relationships are very important in Youth Ministry, in fact the most important relationship in Youth Ministry is YOUR relationship to Christ. Spend a lot of time with Him, not just a few minutes in Psalms and Proverbs and a quick prayer “for God’s will”.
  5. Youth Ministry should be Youth MINISTERING, teaching others to follow Christ and lead others to Him. While your at it, follow Christ and lead others to Him yourself.

thumb_salviadivinorum-healthy.jpgSalvia is an herb that is perfectly legal in California and is the drug of choice for some teens that use it to get high. The herb comes from Mexico where it is used as a spiritual herb for enlightenment. Because the drug is legal, it is easy for teens to get right here in the Valley.

Salvia is sold at several smoke shops in the Fresno area including Phat Manz Alley in Clovis. Owner Rick Zimmermann claims he can not sell Salvia as a psycho-active drug but instead sells it as incense for spiritual healing. He does not recommend anyone smoke this product as it is not intended for that use.

The the rest here.
