I'm concerned as a youth pastor. I had a youth speak out recently stating that church is boring because they can't see or touch what God says we have been blessed with. There are kids who have grown up in the church who turn to witchcraft and Satan everyday because they don't see the AWSOME POWER of GOD demonstrated in the body of Christ. JESUS SAID THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE, THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, TO DO THE THINGS THAT HE DID, AND EVEN GREATER THINGS. SO WHY DON'T WE SEE IT? Because we don't have faith.

I find it ironic that we complain about church being boring because the power and love of God are not being demonstrated, yet when we see it demonstrated in places like Lakeland, Florida, we call it FAKE. Is not the irony overwhelming. We say that people like Todd Bently are crazy and just want attention for themselves, but at least he is doing what JESUS said he could do. Not only could do, but is COMMANDED to do. Besides, I don't think he is drawing attention to himself. He is doing it for the glory of God.

So, young people, do it. If you want "church" to be less boring, do what Jesus commanded you to do and dig into God's words and stop listening to your culture's words. Reach out your hands and place them on the people that need Jesus. HEAL THE SICK! CLEANSE THE LEPAR! RAISE THE DEAD! FEED THE HUNGRY! CLOTHE THE NAKED! VISIT THOSE IN PRISON! GO, GO, GO, GO, GO! PERSEVERE! DON'T STOP! FALL IN LOVE WITH JESUS! HE is your strength. He is your righteousness. He is the great I AM.
