Here we have a group of people that puzzle the world and
are bucking the trends of materialism and selfishness, turning instead to spiritual values and community. Why, then do we hear so little from this group on issues such as abortion, pornography, prostitution, politics
or indeed anything of weight?
There is a huge group
of Christian youth who mean well, have good brains and don’t like what is going on around them (and I count myself among them). However, on the whole we are not being encouraged and equipped to be the stinging
salt and burning light that God has told us to be.
I am a full-time musician. I’m not a lobbyist by nature; I struggle to understand the political system. How can I find both the time and up-to-date, reliable information to really make a
difference in this country, this world?
On my own,
it’s daunting. But
how about in unity with 99,999 others?
The Australian Federation
for the Family is launching the ministry 100,000 Youth. This is an electronic
ministry, keeping costs to the minimum and impact to the maximum. This means
that youth can quickly access news, information and tactics through the medium of communication they use most – the Internet.
Membership is free. In return for just signing up your name and email address, you receive updates
on important issues along with quick and simple directions on how to make your voice count for something. There will also be web-based discussion on timely topics, provoking youth to act and reason biblically.
“There are no safety zones in the combat of faith. The only way to be effective is to apply true Christianity consistently to the culture in all its aspects.”
