Our Young People are Confused.

It’s no wonder that our high school and college students are so confused about God, right from wrong, and our purpose in life. We are teaching them two completely different perspectives, two opposing worldviews, then we expect them to function in a complex society with this shifting and unstable foundation.




Students spend hours a day at public school and are educated in the fundamentals of evolution. Everything came about by chance, there is no overarching purpose to their lives, they aren’t special unless they have something unique and valuable to offer society, and right from wrong is only determined socially and culturally. Beauty is relativistic and love is merely lustful attraction. Reality ends at the edge of the material.



Christian young people go to church on Sunday, and possibly one other time during the week; spending possibly two or more hours in the setting of other believers. You may expect that I’d write that these students are then taught the Christian side of the story, but often times, this doesn’t even happen. But to give the benefit of the doubt: the young person is taught that he or she is special, is divinely created for a purpose, that God is Good and that the term “good” is defined by the nature of God and his perfect and design for us. Beauty is objective, real, observable by all, and has the possibility of creating an aesthetic experience. Love is real. Its roots penetrate our soul, and God is its exemplification and embodiment.



Lets see what happens to our students. Unfortunately, we don’t have to wait to find out. You can already see it here: http://www.youthapologetics.com/video.php . Many of our young people are confused, no…very confused. How can we help?
