Lesson 13: Losing Our Young People The Family & the Home Lesson 13: Losing Our Young People

Child Conditioning Conditioning (words, habits, values, etc.) plays a big part in a person’s life… What foods you eat or clothes you wear What political party you choose What sports team you follow What education or job you will have What you will be religiously

Losing Our Young People Many parents are heartbroken over the loss of their children; some parents lose their children to physical illness and death, others to spiritual illness and death (Lk. 15:11ff) It is estimated that 70% of young people “leave the faith” (in denominations, in the Lord’s church) (Christianity Today, May, 14, 2014) Why are young people lost? What can we do to prevent this?

Losing Our Young People Lack of proper teaching of spiritual values (Deut. 6:6-9; Judg. 2:10; Hos. 4:6; Eph. 6:4; 2 Tim. 1:5; 3:15) – parents should be more concerned about their child’s spiritual education than their secular/social education Hypocritical parents / faulty role models (1 Kings 11:4; Prov. 20:7; Mt. 18:6) – parents should say and do; actions often speak louder than words; “monkey see, monkey do”

Losing Our Young People Worldly friends (Deut. 13:6; 1 Sam. 13:3; Psa. 1:1-3; Prov. 1:10; 12:26; 22:24-25; 24:1; 1 Cor. 15:33) – parents should guard their children against a worldly environment (Rom. 12:2; Jas. 4:4; 1 Jn. 2:15) Is the world doing a better of job of teaching your children than you are? Is the world getting to your children before you do?

Losing Our Young People Material affluence (Amos 6:1-6; Mt. 6:33; Eph. 5:15-16; 1 Tim. 6:9-10) – parents should emphasize the spiritual over the material (the Lord first over money, jobs, houses, cars, things, sports, etc.)

Bring the Little Children We need to bring the little children to Jesus (Mt. 19:13-15; Mk. 10:13-16; Lk. 18:15-17) But, we need to keep the young people with Jesus!

Review Questions 1. What part does conditioning play in a person’s life? 2. What kind of losses are parents experiencing? 3. What four factors leading to loss are discussed in this lesson? 4. What is Jesus attitude toward the little children?
