Teenage Holy War

I've been waiting awhile to post this article, but it's worth a read. I actually found this article after I took a phone call in my office from an ATF person last month encouraging me to attend their conference in late April if I was a seriously committed youth pastor and wanted to see the teens in my group impact our city by standing against the cultural evil that is waging war against their souls. I respectfully declined and briefly shared how I am on a different page, actually a different planet.

Rolling Stone, April 19th edition - Teenage Holy War. Subtitle "Jesus is really, really pissed -- at Hollywood, at the media, even at most Christians. But BattleCry, the nation’s largest and most radical youth crusade, is recruiting a new generation of Christian soldiers to fight back. "

Please click on the video link and watch the Nightline clip and listen to the female student talk about what changed her life and then listen to what the reporter says about what changed her life at the end as she is summarizing the story. May the students in our ministry walk away changed by the passion of Jesus Christ, who waged a different kind of holy war, making himself nothing, becoming the slave, and dying on a cross.
