"Really good point!  We should never assume we know what is in the heart of another.  Nor should we begin to think we truly understand the workings of the Holy Spirit."

"Greg, you brought to mind what I observed some years ago.  When we sang a yoodleboppy praise song, the youth, whom the youth pastored had corralled to sit by the window to the far front (now that I've been in the public school, I see this…"

"Perhaps the wrong place for this, but in reviewing the thread, and some other posts that discuss worship activities, some of you have expectations for your worship times that I've rarely seen in practice with adults, much less teens. If they…"

"What ever happened to the teenager who didn't care if he/she fit in?  There were tons of us artsy-craftsies in the 60's that wouldn't wear sweatbands or bellbottoms or tiny-lens glasses, but we were just ourselves, and had no…"

"This is a good read on youth ministry and the young men in it... Be sure and check out part two as well... Young men aren't necessarily drawn to long bouts of worship whereas some girls may be more inclined to enter in... I lead worship for 3…"

"Alot of good ideas already but I would add to these, set a time of teaching on what Worship is, I mean the fulness of it, lifestyle praying singing all that is involved and that singing is just part of it. You say they are kind of a tight knit…"
