Today Pastor Sam finished his series on Luke 15 with a message about "Why Christian Kids Rebel". Here are a few things that he said in the message today that are important for us to know.
Today, I mentioned how helpful it is for parents to know if they are dealing with a rebellious Christian young person or one who is actually not a believer.
Tim Kimmel, in his book, Why Christian Kids Rebel, suggests 5 questions to help parents discern if their son or daughter is regenerate:
1) Does he or she show remorse about doing things that break God’s heart?
2) Does he or she have a desire know God’s word, and are they convicted when exposed to it?
3) Does he or she long for and desire fellowship with other believers?
4) Does he or she want be used by God to strengthen the church, and reach out to lost?
5) Is he or she sensitive to the lost condition of people they go to school with or work alongside?
We will have the full sermon up later today. Have a great Monday!
