What I do on Friday nights will not be more fun than a party or the pub.
At least not usually.
If I try to match the world in entertainment, I come off second best.
Normally, this is something to keep in mind once kids get into senior high. Then they have a myriad of social option other than youth group.
But it also applies to the leaders who are there each week.
They don't go to the pub on a Friday night.
They don't use that evening to go on a date.
They don't spend that time with their friends.
Instead, they spend 40 Friday nights a year in a church building with teenagers. All without pay.
It's a good lesson to us who are on the payroll.
They are there cause they love it.
They love God.
They love the kids.
They love pouring their life into a bunch of young people.
They love seeing God work.
Otherwise, they could be doing something else...
