I have found myself in a similar position when I have attended some youth functions without real, authentic worship, with some students and found that I had to keep my hand over my mouth so as not to say…anything! I realized that I very well could have ruined a moment for one of the teens who may have been enlightened? Touched by the spirit? And my criticism could have quenched that in seconds by my mentioning something derogatory about the service or the conference.
I’ve come to realize that pre-humans (youth) in our culture, though dangerous and unpredictable, actually have a certain amount of intellect…brains, if you will. And in certain cases, like the one you experienced with your teens, they may in fact be able to see beyond the smoke and mirrors all on their own. It appears that the spirit is doing wonders through you Stu…I encourage you to keep up the good work! Godspeed. Vaya Con Dios.
