The Simplicity of God’s Word

Aaron OsborneYouth MinistryFebruary 13, 2012 Leave a comment0

 

At BreakThru, our Junior High ministry here at Reston Bible Church, we provide simple journals for the Jr. Highers to use to spend time with God.  The journals provide a reading plan, a couple of questions to get them to think about what they read, and some space to write out a prayer to God.  This is nothing amazing in concept, but it has been incredible to see what God is doing through them. Just last week, I got an email from a mom telling me how her son uses the journal almost every day, and she has been amazed as she has seen God’s Word at work in her son’s life.  This email isn’t unique, as I receive something similar at least once a month.

A lot of times I am tempted to think that if God’s Word isn’t properly “packaged” and turned into something that grabs a teen’s attention, they won’t get anything out of it.  But that mindset is like caring more about the wrapping paper than the actual present.   God’s Word is “living and active” and is powerful to change lives.  We can get distracted by all the glitz of the latest Christian book or podcast sermon.  But whether I am an 11 year-old boy or a seminary professor, the Bible speaks and transforms all who will listen.
