Hey thanks for stopping by in our neck of the woods or internet whatever you want to call it.

You’re probably thinking that “the youth are Revolting” doesn’t sound like a great name for a youth minstry (you may be right, but it is the best we could come up with) but it reflects what we are on about within our youth ministry. Our aim is to stand against the life that this world calls us to live, and to live lives that are in line with God’s heart. So we are revolting against this world, and as we do that we are making a commitment to love.

As we look at the people around us, as we look at society we notice that there are many tribes we can choose to belong to in modern Australia. Most groups are exclusive and denote themselves by the clothes they wear, the music they listen to, the sport they enjoy, the country they came from or the decade they grew up in. So for example you have Home boys, you have skaters, you have computer nerds, you have punkers, you teeny boppers, you have rugby players, you have soccer players, you have Italians, you have Chinese, you have Indian, you have Pakistani, you have African. Our Australian community is really many communities, we are a multicultural society. Each different group has its own denoting symbols, beliefs, traditions and customs.

As a Christian living in this world what would we look like if we did not choose a secular tribe to belong to? What would it be like if we lived in this world but were not of this world? Christians are free to follow Jesus and live lives of love.
Jesus said,

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind. ' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it:' Love your neighbour as yourself. 'All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments."(Matthew 22:37-40).
