Youth Ministry in Perspective

"Youth ministry is to parenting as vitamins are to meals."

I forget the source on this one, but boy is it a beauty. The speaker's point I think is obvious: We cannot as parents simply shove our kids in a youth program and think that they will become spiritual by it. Parents are the one's the Lord have appointed to be the primary spiritual developers.

Youth ministry is great, but never to supplant our high and holy calling as parents..
