Thought of the Week: Planning for a Better Future

There are two things which are often stated. “Make plans and prepare for a better future.” “The youth are the future of the church.” That being said, if the youth are the future of the church, the goal should be to make the “future” a better one. How is this done? It does not start with having the best preacher in the congregation. It is not having a youth minister to plan out youth activities. Building a solid foundation for the youth begins in the home. “And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up” (Deuteronomy 6:6-7).
