Rejecting relationships?
Alan Bright explains why we should ditch this modern concept.
‘Therefore God gave them up…’ is sobering. Romans 1 says that, as people suppress the truth about God, God lets desire run riot — and misery follows.
Something great for fathers to do
The last 20 years have seen a huge increase in the number of youth workers in British churches — yet at the same time the church is losing young people. Alan Bright wonders if the two are connected.
Ephesians 6.4 is a verse for youth workers. Except that it isn’t. It talks about bringing up children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. For an Old Testament version see Deuteronomy 6.4-9. And the people responsible for bringing up children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord are not youth workers: they are parents — and specifically fathers.
