Concerns about a New Bible

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/05/09

Is it possible that getting teens to read the Bible could actually move them away from God’s good order and design for sexuality? If they read an updated version of the Bible that is being released this month, that could happen. This update of 1989’s New Revised Standard Version is called NRSVUE. Many of the more than twenty-thousand changes are helpful as they are based on updated textual discoveries. Yet this new Bible project also aims to reflect what scholars call modern sensibilities.

Your Kids Have Been Made for a Relationship with God

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/05/06

As we prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day, I thought it would be good to spend our week looking at some helpful parenting truths. Today’s truth is this: Our teenagers were made to be in a relationship with God. Because our rebellion has severed our relationship with God, there remains a deep yearning inside each human being to have that relationship restored. Blaise Pascal described this universal hole in the soul as a god-shaped vacuum. Teenagers are no different than anyone else. Their great need is

All Kids Are Influenced By Culture

2022/05/05

As we prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day, I thought it would be good to spend our week looking at some helpful parenting truths. Today’s truth is this: Any kid, anywhere, anytime. Sadly, there’s an assumption flying around that Christian kids are somehow immune from being vulnerable to the growing tide of negative influences in today’s rapidly changing culture. Many of us have bought the lie that “those things don’t happen in Christian families,” or “to Christian kids.” Believing this lie can lull us

No Perfect Parents, No Perfect Kids

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/05/04

As we prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day, I thought it would be good to spend our week looking at some helpful parenting truths. Today’s truth is this: there are no perfect parents or kids. The Bible teaches us that sin is present in every human heart. At the root of problems in our families and homes is the sinful and selfish nature of children and their parents. At our house, there have been far too many times to even count where we’ve fought, bickered, argued, gotten irritated, and lacked

Parenting Isn't Easy

2022/05/03

As we prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day, I thought it would be good to spend our week looking at some helpful parenting truths. Today’s truth is this: being a parent isn’t always easy. No matter how much time and effort we put into preparing for parenthood, there will always be unexpected surprises. Raising and relating to children is difficult for everyone, and it tends to become more so as children reach the teen years. Each of us will experience a different set of highs and lows, jolts and joys,

Children are a Gift

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/05/02

As we prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day, I thought it would be good to spend our week looking at some helpful parenting truths. The first truth is this: God gives us the gift of children. The psalmist writes, “Don’t you see that children are God’s best gift? The fruit of the womb his generous legacy? Like a warrior’s fistful of arrows are the children of a vigorous youth. Oh, how blessed are you parents, with your quivers full of children!” It’s a big mistake to think of our children as liabilities;

Fentanyl Overdoses and Teens

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/04/29

Today, I want to make you aware of some discouraging new research regarding teens and drug use from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. After reviewing the data from 2020, it was discovered that overdoses linked to synthetic opioids like Fentanyl tripled among teenagers over the course of just two years. Among black teenagers, there was a five-fold increase. Fentanyl is one hundred times more potent than morphine, and fifty times more potent than heroin. Fueling this trend is the fact

Boasting and Humility

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/04/28

There’s a great lesson for our kids in a story told about retired baseball player Chase Utley. It seems that when Utley was a little boy playing ball, he complained to his father about a fellow player who did quite a bit of show-boating on the field, and bragging off the field. Utley’s dad shared a simple lesson he learned from his high school guidance counselor. The lesson was this: “If you’re really good at something, you don’t have to tell people. They will tell you.” The writer of Proverbs says

Words of Hope in Tragic Times

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/04/27

We all need to pay attention to Tony Dungy’s recounting of the tragic loss of his eighteen-year-old son Jamie to suicide several years ago. While God ministered deeply to Tony and his wife during this very difficult time, God also ministered through the couple as they lived out their faith in the days, weeks, and months that followed. At Jamie’s funeral, Tony Dungy spoke these words: “What’s kept our family going these last couple of days is what we believe, and we believe God when he says that he

Teen Smartphone Addiction

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/04/26

Ever since the smartphone became a standard accessory and even an appendage much like our arms and legs, experts have debated whether or not people can become addicted to their digital devices. The research evidence is quickly accumulating that says yes, all of us can become addicted to our devices. And like all kinds of addicts, we are typically willing to point out the addiction of others, while denying that we might have a problem. But listen to this. Some recent research from the Pew Research

Connecting as a Family

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/04/25

One of the best lessons I learned from my parents is that there is more to life than sitting around and doing nothing. My parents were available to us on those quiet evenings when it would have been easy to plop down in front of the tube. But they always had something fun to do. We would play board games or cards, wrestle or box with my dad, build models, work in the basement woodshop, etc. Sure we watched TV, listened to the radio, and played records. But those voices were tempered by the

Facing the Epidemic of Porn 5

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/04/22

All this week we’ve been looking at Tim Chester’s book, “Closing the Window: Steps To Living Porn Free” – and his list of reasons for why we should give up porn. Above all else, pornography is a sin that erodes our relationship with God. Chester reminds us of the story of Solomon and his love for foreign women. Solomon’s unchecked sexual desires turned his heart away from God. They gave him a divided heart. One pornography addict says, “Porn kills my spiritual vitality and zaps the life out of my

All this week we’re looking at Tim Chester’s book, “Closing the Window: Steps To Living Porn Free” – and his list of reasons for why we should give up porn. In a world where the family is already in decline, pornography adds another weapon in the war against the growth and health of the family. Studies show that even mild exposure to porn reduces men’s evaluation of their partner’s attractiveness and how much in love they feel. It’s harder to find satisfaction with real sex with real women. Porn is

All this week we’re looking at Tim Chester’s book, “Closing the Window: Steps To Living Porn Free” – and his list of reasons for why we should give up porn. If we want to grow to hate pornography, we should consider how it ruins and wrecks people, particularly women. On the one hand, pornography wrecks a man’s view of women. With so many of our children and teen already immersed in pornography, I wonder what the fruit of their addiction will be as they come of age. You see, pornography encourages

All this week we’re looking at Tim Chester’s book, “Closing the Window: Steps To Living Porn Free” – and his list of reasons for why we should give up porn. With the possibility that one in three people in your church are struggling with porn, this issues deserves our attention. Chester makes a compelling case for the fact that porn wrecks our view of sex. Pornographic sex is not real sex. Watching porn radically distorts our expectations of sex, dulling one’s appetite for real sex, while ratcheting

Facing the Epidemic of Porn 1

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/04/18

“Today, there is an epidemic of pornography.” Those are the first seven words in Tim Chester’s very helpful book, “Closing the Window: Steps to Living Porn Free.” Chester says there are two factors behind the growth of our pornified culture. First, there are the increasingly permissive attitudes in our society. In today’s world, we watch things, dress ourselves, and live in ways that no prior generation ever did. The second factor behind the acceleration of pornography is the glut of new technology

Jesus and the Cross

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/04/15

On this weekend when we celebrate the cross of Jesus Christ and all that it entails, I would like to share some words from one of my favorite theologians, Dr. John Stott. Stott writes, “Even the excruciating pain could not silence his repeated entreaties: ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.’ The soldiers gambled for his clothes. Some women stood afar off. The crowd remained a while to watch. Jesus commended his mother to John’s care and John to hers. He spoke words of

The Story We Celebrate

As we get ready to celebrate power of the Cross and the Resurrection of Jesus this weekend, I want to ask you if you’ve taken any time to talk with your kids about the earth-shattering significance of what it is that we will be celebrating. The fallout from our culture’s growing reality of biblical illiteracy hit me hard when a couple of years ago on the day after Easter my daughter-in-law, an athletic trainer at a large suburban high school, shared with me a conversation she witnessed between a

Loving as Jesus Loved

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/04/13

The Bible tells us that one of the evidences of the fact that we have been born again and are in Christ is love. Followers of Jesus are called to love each other because we’ve been loved by God. The great evidence of God’s love for us is that he sent his son as a sacrifice for our sin. In other words, God demonstrated his love for us with the death of his son Jesus on the cross. God’s love is a faithful, giving, self-sacrificing, and consistent love. In I John 4:7 we are called to “love one

Isolation vs Community

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/04/12

The English writer John Donne is perhaps most famous for writing the words, “No man is an island.” Donne was communicating the fact that in order to thrive, we must depend on others and the gift of community. The Bible teaches us that for the follower of Jesus Christ, living one’s life within the larger Body of Christ is not optional, but necessary. When life is spent apart from others, we can come undone. Perhaps that’s why it’s not surprising to learn that over the last couple of years of
