Let’s be honest: The very foundation of most VBS and youth ministries is
nothing more than pragmatic, unbiblical, man-centered,
entertainment-style programs designed to lure youth into church, baiting
the hook with promises of fun and excitement with the purpose of
switching from fun and frivolity to deep matters that aren’t so fun and
amusing; subjects like sin, death, judgment, Hell, eternal torment, and a
bloody and battered Savior hanging from a rugged Roman cross in order
to take on our sins (and absorb God’s wrath) while imputing His own
righteousness to an undeserving people. How one can effectively make the
transition from amusement and frivolity to the grim realities of the
gospel to a group of kids hyped up on Mountain Dew and pizza provided by
the church is beyond me (this is presuming, of course, that there are
still some churches out there that are even attempting to present the
gospel in such an unadulterated fashion). Read the rest HERE
