Sinners in Need of Salvation

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/08/01

In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus tells his disciples, “see that no one leads you astray.” He tells them that many false prophets will arise to lead many astray. In today’s world, we must heed this warning as many in the church are promoting false teachings that both we and our kids might easily come to believe. New Testament scholar Michael Kruger tells us that one of the most insidious and destructive lies we are being taught is that as Christians, it is more important for us to affirm people’s

Jesus as Lord

In Ephesians 4:14, the Apostle Paul tells us that we are no longer to be like children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning. In essence, Paul is warning us to deepen our understanding of the truths of God’s Word so that we might not be led astray by false teaching. New Testament scholar Michael Kruger warns us that in today’s world, many in the church are believing the false teaching which says that Jesus is a model for how we should live,

Binge Drinking and Adolescent Brains

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/07/28

Binge drinking is defined as consuming five or more drinks in two-hour period for men, or four or more drinks in a two-hour period for women. Adults who binge drink are at greater risk for increased violence, accidental injuries and death, impaired memory, increased risk for heart disease, and other chronic conditions. Less is known about the effects of binge-drinking on the brains of adolescents. Researchers at the University of Buffalo have published a study that’s found that even low and moderate

Negative Sideline Behavior

2022/07/27

Earlier this summer, a television station in Des Moines, Iowa ran a report about how unruly parents were causing issues for umpires at youth baseball games. It seems that over the course of one weekend in June, umpires had to eject seventeen parents from baseball games for heckling and other bad behavior. In order to combat this, Central Iowa Sports, the organization that runs the league, instituted a strict no-tolerance policy. The following weekend, Central Iowa Sports reported that the new policy

Constructive Offline Conversations

2022/07/26

Last May, the day after the horrific school shooting took place in Uvalde, Texas, social media lit up with a back and forth that shows just how divided we are as a nation. I got to thinking about the best place to respond, as we must, to the tragedies that take place in our world. I truly believe that the evil in our world which rattles us to the core must be discussed and acted upon. The Gospel demands it. But it’s wise to choose where we discuss how we should act and respond. The great temptation

I want to tell you about some fathers and what they did last fall after twenty-three students at a local Shreveport, Louisiana high school were arrested over a three-day span for fighting on campus. A group of parents met after the incidents to form a strategy for combatting violence at the school. After meeting for four hours, the group came up with a plan. Some fathers decided to go to the school to walk around and patrol the hallways, showing a strong and caring male presence at the school. One

How God Uses Problems to Perfect Our Kids

2022/07/22

All this week we’ve been looking at five lessons from the persecuted church regarding how God uses problems and persecutions for our good and His glory. These are lessons that we must teach our kids as they grow up in a youth culture that’s increasingly set against the Gospel and God’s people. Today’s lesson is this: God uses problems and persecution to perfect you. Paul writes these words in Romans five: “we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance

How Suffering Impacts Kids

These are lessons that we must teach our kids as they grow up in a youth culture that’s increasingly set against the Gospel and God’s people. Today’s lesson is this: God uses problems and persecution as a means to inspect us. In the first chapter of the book of James, we read this: “Count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know

How Suffering Directs Kids

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/07/18

One of the most important lessons we can teach our children and teens as they grow up in today’s post-Christian culture is a theology of what it means to suffer well. I’ve been reading insights on suffering from the Open Doors ministry to the global persecuted church. This week, I want to share Open Doors’ five ways that God uses problems and persecution in our lives. These are lessons we must share with our kids. First, we must teach them that God uses problems and persecution to direct us

Kids and Communication

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/07/15

I was recently at a social gathering where I sat across the table from a teenager and an adult who were having a conversation. I paid special attention to the non-verbal ways in which the older man and the young man were communicating. I was focusing on this aspect of their conversation because of some research I had recently read which reported that adolescents spend twelve percent less time looking at the face of the person they are speaking to, than do adults ages twenty to forty. The researchers

Good as Evil, Evil as Good

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/07/14

How do we help our kids discern good from evil in a world where increasingly we see what used to be called vices embraced as virtues, and things that used to be virtues seen as vices? We are living in a world once described by cultural critic Gene Veith as a world where the only sin, is to believe in sin. As parents, we must begin by teaching our kids the truths of God’s Word. We must help them look carefully at God’s borders and boundaries for our lives so that they might live into worshiping and

The Danger of Specializing in Sports

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/07/13

As Christian parents, we are called to responsibly steward God’s good gift of our children. We are to tend to their spiritual nurture, their physical health, and their mental health. Our parenting is to bring glory to God as we raise our children to glorify God over and above pursuing the idols of our times. One of those idols is the idol of organized sport. While organized sports are a good thing, they can become an ultimate thing, or idol. One way that organized sports become unhealthy is when we

Online Predators

The Bible teaches us that we live in a fallen and broken world. Sin manifests itself everywhere and in every way. One of the most disturbing types of sin facilitated by today’s technology is online predatory behavior. While there’s conflicting evidence on who is most at risk, the research indicates that kids ages twelve to fifteen are most at risk, with girls being more frequently victimized than our boys. If your child withdraws and becomes secretive around a device by hiding the screen or clicking

How Should We Love?

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/07/11

Our kids are growing up in a world where it is believed that to love someone is to affirm them in whatever they desire or pursue. But this is not love at all. As Christians, Jesus tells us that we are to love one another as he has loved us. Parents, consider these words about this kind of love from Elisabeth Elliot: “The love of Jesus was unsentimental. As a man, he fully entered into the disciples’ experience of being men, with all the feelings that entails, yet His love for them was not a feeling
