[Vision2020] Re: Youth Ministry?

[Taro Tanaka]

I get the distinct impression that the post was intended to be nothing more 
or less than a sardonic commentary on the self-deceptions that some immature 
Christians engage in.* Some youths feel a stirring in their loins and 
realize they're in love; other youths discover they're suddenly on fire for 
Christ as regards the sharing of the gospel with a particular young woman or 
group of atractive young women. Hormones happen, and it is the job of older 
and wiser Christians to let the would-be Charles Haddon Spurgeon of the 
dance floor know they are on to him. I don't think the post was intended as 
a celebration of the fringe benefits that come with being a minister of the 
gospel, Jimmy Swaggart notwithstanding.

* N.B. There is a corresponding phenomenon among non-Christians. For 
example, some people interpret, without exception, every little thing that 
their enemies do in the worst possible light and then run to post about what 
they perceive as the latest travesty on their favorite "bashing e-list," 
fully convinced the whole time of their own righteousness and purity of 
motives. It is all part of growing up and being a scion of Adam.
