How concerned are we...?

How concerned are we about the whole person?
Do we talk about the difficult topics? or do we hide from them? The more that I get to know people the more that I realize that we are all a broken down person that is in need of relationship with Jesus.

One of the topics that I have been kind of running from over the last couple of years within the Youth ministry is Sex and Dating. Why? because I was concerned about what parents would say and I was concerned about the maturity of the students to handle a topic and discussion such as that. I think the better concern is not for the parents or for the maturity issue that I was concerned about - but it is about the whole person and what God's desire is for that person. I think that is better in the long run.

It took me too long to get here but it has been so worth it to be real and be okay with it. If God is putting it on your heart go for and don't be apologetic - follow God's leading.
