Sanders Fri, 12 Sep 2008 15:06:14 +0000 http://www.morethandodgeball.com/?p=4064#comment-22842 Thanks for this. As the mom of a 16-year-old and a 20-year-old, I've seen youth ministries that perpetuate the notion that parents aren't "cool," and that it's not cool to enjoy being with your parents. What a load of crap. Both my girls have always liked being with me as a person and I deeply resent leadership that tries - consciously or unconsciously - to undermine that in an attempt to be "hip" and "cool." Parents are dorks, traditional church services are boring, the only cool thing is youth group. That's just wrong. While I realize not all homes are healthy, honoring parents is a biblical value that should be promoted, not ignored or scorned. Thanks for this.
