Night of Joy @ Walt Disney World

Last weekend Walt Disney World in Florida hosted Night of Joy. It is a night designed for youth groups to come and celebrate in a concert atmosphere and have exclusive use of the park. Sounds like a great idea, right? Maybe for the youth ministries, but not for anyone else!

Check out what columnist Jeff Lange had to say about what it's like watching Christian teenagers run amuck on the WDW property! "Hellish behavior mars an evening of heavenly music at the Magic Kingdom" by Jeff Lange.

You must read this! Out of a ton of things he said, this quote is the saddest, "So no one -- not their chaperones, Disney Security, not even God himself -- was going to tell them what they could & could not do." - Jeff Lange

I could rant on this all day. It's no wonder there are so many in our day who see a disconnect between our message of love and our lifestyle of self-absorption which results in a complete disregard of anyone or anything else. I want to disciple a generation that knows, believes and lives out Paul's prayer for the Colossians, "Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity" (4:5)!

Making the most of every opportunity...hmm, now that's radical!
