Today's Youth and their view of God

Brad Mercer has just reminded me of an important resource for all those interested in ministering to our students. You can view the information on this widely-reported new research at http://www.youthandreligion.org/

One part of telling the truth to this generation is understanding its mindset and assumptions about God and the world. This interesting study uncovers some fascinating aspects of the beliefs of American teenagers. Christian Smith calls them "Moralistic, therapeutic, deists." Wow.

We've mentioned this work to you before, but it's worth highlighting again.
