Philippians 3:17 - 4:1 - Stand Firm
Paul was in hard pursuit of a life glorified Jesus, and he wanted his readers to stand firm as he has expressed in Philippians 1:27 in that same pursuit. Standing firm is not always easy when one has to deal with the new atheism, a truncated Gospel, pluralistic religions and worldviews, etc. Even when Paul wrote to Timothy he called the church the "pillar and buttress of truth (1 Tim. 3:15). When the truth of the Gospel is faithfully proclaimed someone is going to get hurt at times. In standing firm, you cannot stand still. Christianity is a fight for your life. The Christian is like flying an airplane - you are either moving forward or you are crashing and burning. In order to stand firm without standing still, Paul calls us to the disciplemaking of imitation, to flee apostasy, to the assurance of heaven. We must stand firm in our pursuit of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Standing firm is not standing still.

The Goal of Youth Ministry - Our Goal for Our Youth
Rather than asking first, what is our goal for our youth ministry, we need to figure out what our goal for our youth should be. Then, when we have that firmly established, we can look at how our church's ministry to young people should fit into that larger goal. As Christians, our ultimate goal for our young people should be that whether they eat or drink, or whatever they do, that they would do all to the glory of God. Or, to state it another way, our goal for our children is that they intentionally glorify God and enjoy Him now and forever.
