My observation is that many youths are in church serving in one position or the other today because of what they can get like jobs, wife/husband, connection and so on.
May God help us to truely love Christ!

Depends on the God you're talking about.

If you mean the God spelt as M-O-N-E-Y, Then you're wrong cause everyone serves him

I like money, but I dont serve it sir

This is the same issue that has been plaguing the church at least since the middle- end of the last century..with the explosion of modernization and technology.
The world has and is fluencing the church more than the church influencing the world.

If what the world has to offer, is placed on the highest pedastal in the youths' hearts, then that is what will be sought after.
It's truly one simple spiritual reason though: no true heart conversion.
I know I sound like a tape-recorder, but it comes down to the heart. The youth in churches worldwide, probably cannot make the decision to leave the church yet or just not attend, so they just bring the "world" in.
They begrudgingly serve..
It's a "barter/trade" relationship."
"I'll serve, but I better get something out of it" type of mentality.
One foot in the church and the other "outside" of it.
So the worldy mentality comes into the church..and dominates.
I'm not judging, but I know its a problem in the U.S. also.
Parents/guardians have to do better job in laying a very firm biblical foundation...I would say.

This was an awesome piece.

Thank you sir....just my thoughts

This is because of the unbalanced gospel that has corrupted our current Christianity whereby Jesus Christ is preached as a means to an end {miracles, signs, job-opportunity, marital-engagements, promotions, financial-favors, healing e.t.c} instead of THE END ITSELF (ETERNAL LIFE) that permits both advantages and disadvantages.

The problem with our Christian belief started when preachers started preaching Jesus Christ as a means to an end(Miracles, financial-favors, marital-engagements, marital-bliss, job-opportunities, wealth, healing, prosperity e.t.c) and NOT THE END ITSELF{LIFE ETERNAL}.
Unless we preach CHRIST JESUS CRUCIFIED ALONE as the END and ALL THAT ANY HUMAN BEING NEEDS at every tick of time on this earth more erroneous doctrines, juju-men on suits, shrine-centers in the name of synagogues and prayer-houses will abound wrecking peoples' life especially in Africa and this generation.
Repetition of the Sound gospel of Grace{repent from sin/unbelief, believe in Jesus Christ in order to receive eternal life, submit your whole being; spirit, soul and body to the Holy Spirit to possess through daily consistent and progressive bible to discover more about JESUS CHRIST and grow in GRACE both as an individual and as a member in your fellowship/Church} is NEVER BORING because the Holy Spirit releases his freshness/anointing/grace each time it is preached, releases ETERNAL LIFE AND GRACE to attend to each individual and family as IT PLEASES HIM and AT HIS OWN TIME!!!

Thanl you, God bless you, many of us forget Luke 9:62

The are wise, all na wash

tobechi20:
The are wise, all na wash

God is real, be unto you according to your faith!

May God bless our Youth and show the right thing!

Serving an imaginary being eventually gets boring.

1. Lust of the flesh
2. Lust of the eyes
3. Pride of life...
If any man loves the world, the love of the father is not and cannot be in him!!

How do you know youth don't serve God....
.
All the great men of God you are hearing their names now started serving God from their youth....

Think before you start thread....

What are your reasons?

Because they need strong Conviction! Youths of this generation are born in the era of modernization. They have access to any information they seek, and some of them have realised that something is wrong with our religious settings, and they are not sure of what serving God means.

Cos the goddamn spiritual leaders failed us

We've seen the light now and there are so many questions that need to be answered.

Until then,

Stay open minded

Peace

same with the leaders too... most of them are serving God because of private jet, offering and thithe

You lied,who told you that youth are not genuinely serving God

Are the olds/mentors, parents genuinely serving God?

A mango seed cant grow an apple

Because I'm not "convinced" of the existence of a god, I'm answering for myself

Because the youths are getting wiser. You don't need to waste your time serving an imaginary being.

Because, our mumu don do! The youths are slowly waking up from being a mentally deluded religious slowpoke and mental slavery their ancestors endured.

Is it your business? Run your race.
