Personally the potential I see in this poem is that the teen finds no Godly evidence in the actions and behaviors in the adult that is presuading him to church. It is a basically ruined mission with in teenage case. For most teenagers this is true but they do not see true Godly message behind it. It was like what you said in the rant of how it bothers you to see Christians that act better than everyone else. If they wonder why their missions constantly fall through it’s because they do not practice what they preach

it’s sad….that poem was like how i was when i was about 9…..then my brother came back from a Hot Hearts conference and i saw something different in him….when i asked him what happened..he just said that it was a "God-thing"…..that was the first time i ever saw God through somebody else…..you’re poem kind of goes with the saying that "you might be the only Bible someone ever reads"

I love that poem, very true. I am pretty sure you read that poem when you came and spoke at E-free in St.louis. Have a great day!

Nice, Greg, very nice! (you’re a poet and we didn’t know it!) Sadly, that sounds like so many teens that I’ve talked to. How many years back was that when you wrote that poem? Signing Off, Ashley

I really like your poem… Our worship pastor says, "If you want to hear a Christian lie…listen to them sing worship songs!"

I’ve never read a poem that hit so close to home in regards to how I felt as a teenager. I thank God that I got over myself! My prayer, now that I am a father, is that this poem will never relate to my own son. Thanks dad (earthly dad), for staying true to your son (me), even when I looked at you through the eyes of this poem.

The answer for revival – for change is not going to be in changing the "adults". The answer is in getting young people to accept Christ as their own and not being afraid to stand out from the crowd and stand up for Him. – - Adults keep pouring your life into these kids. Teach them. Encourage them. Send them out. – - Students take the chance to change a life – its the best addiction you can have. Accept who God has made you and called you to be. Rely on Him for your strength and courage and make a stand. He will be there with you – no doubt

That is a cool poem! (I mean ‘nicely’written’ by that) Unfortunately for a good portion of teens, that poem is true. . . .
