THE MAIL-JOURNAL - Wed., September 28,1383
By Dale W. Parker Calvary Baptist Church The conjecture about the state of our youth is quite controversial. The old addage that “tomorrow belongs to today’s youth” is evident. This observation cannot be changed, but the youth to whom ' we are leaving the world, can be. They cannot be, however, without proper communication. Youth are created by God to respond. They will respond to someone or something. The entire future of our homes, churches, schools and nation depends upon (from the human perspective) our ability to communicate what is eternal, absolute, namely, truth. The Word of God is criterion of Truth in this high-tech era, filled with speculation and theory, apprehension, doubt and skepticism, non-reason; nuke fear and secular humanistic prejudice. The youth of our world need hope, love, understanding, infallible guidelines that work and stalwarts of conviction from which to gain inspiration and courage. Many are finding those things They are starving for everything the Word of God’s message of absolute truth offers. Will it (God's perfect remedy for the ills of youth), remain bared or will someone be daring and courageous enough to communicate that which is as cool water to the parched and swollen desert traveler. Touchdown! (Goal — Communication > v Yard by yard with exhilerating force, you made it! You broke through the formidable mass of opposition with all the well designed obstacles in your face and scored. Communication is similar to that. It is: Breaking through the barriers of ignorance or non-understanding and imparting that which needs to be understood.

OUR VIEW A weekly guest column provided by Lakeland community ministers. Communication and youth
It is conferring or delivering from one source to another. It presupposes effort, discipline and thought. Youth’s dialects with their verbal symbols everchanging, their lack of ease around someone who holds a superior office or status role, their personality variations (which may lead to communication gaps), and overflow of emotions and feelings, all tend to create an experienced defense that is often tough to overcome. They ask: 1. Who am I? 2. How do 1 act? 3. What am I to believe? It is an humbling fact that during these times of grwoning pains, he or she responds to people who can and will communicate to them. The Roster < Biblical Foundation for the Importance of Youth) The Bible is packed with admonitions and guiding priciples relative to the importance of youth, such as Proverbs 22:6 and Ephesians 6:4. They Won the Game! (They communicated) In 2 Timothy 1:5, Lois and Eunice communicated to Timothy. Joshua 24:15shows that Joshua communicated to his family. In Genesis 18:19 Abraham exerts a spiritual influence upon his family through effective communication. In Genesis 50: 15-21, Joseph exemplified the fact that he had been taught well through earlier communication with his parents (and his God)! Injured and Pulled Out! (Tragic failure to Communicate Truth) 1 Samuel 3:13 says, “For 1 have told him (Eli) that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.” Again I Samuel 8:3 presents sober words.
“And his sons walked not in his (Samuel’s) ways, but turned aside after lucre and took bribes and perverted justice.” The Scriptures are replete with examples of men and women who communicated forcefully and evidenced lasting results from their efforts. Sadly, it also contains the horrors of those to whom no one succeeded in transmitting the truth. The Playbook (The How and Where) Pep Talk Number 1. Whenever you communicate with another person, remember the six messages involved in the conversation: what you mean to say, what you actually say. what the other person hears, what the other person thinks he hears, what the other person says and what you think the other person says. Pep Talk Number 2. Analyze and be alert to the pre-existing framework! There are reasons why your intended recepient is acting the way he or she is. Their individual worth as well as their sin natures need to be explained carefully and Biblically. Os paramount importance is the answer of forgiveness in Jesus Christ and having the problem of guilt successfully handled. Accepting forgiveness from Jesus Christ and having a future goal of serving Him adds indescribable purpose and meaning the the life and zeal of youth. Youth need a strong foundation of meaning and Christ is that focal point (Person) around which the universe exists. (Col. 1:16). Pep Talk Number 3. Get Moving! Using the Bible as a basis for the communication of truth, go! (Ps. 119:89, 105; 18:30). It is the only infallible and dependable source of how to love and live.

ing player who has courage). Play number 2 — Make it count! Speak about things in which youth are involved. Play number 3 — Plan to motivate your listener. 1. Don’t major on the obscure, vague and indefinite. Biblical truth deserves far more than a dry presentation. 2. Provide variety with continuity; enough variety to avoid stagnation and enough continuity to maintain sanity and learning! 3. Breed excitement-your listener to a great degree well be as enthusiastic as you are. Play number 4 — Ask questions (Open up the defense!) The question and answer method of communicating is ancient and effective. Play number 5 — Be fewreal! (the bomb). Whatever you say, mean it with all your heart. Whatever you do, do it with all your strength and wisdom. For Real Colossians 1:11, 3:17; 2 Timothy 2.4, 4:2. “One youth, one sinner, saved by grace. who with the help of God will run the race. Youth who fights to win, not weighted down by sin, a youth not satisfied with second place. A youth who like a craftsman builds with care, his life upon God’s holy Word and prayer. A youth who leads the lost to Christ at any cost, anytime, anyplace, anywhere. The world has yet to see, the strength that there would be, poured out on such a yout om God above. The mark that he or she would make. I’m sure that it would take, more than a host of Satan to remove.”

Faith reaffirms the joys and traditions of family life
*** oday’s “modern” lifestyles may seem to be Qp on the increase, but they will never replace the family unit; and even the most freewheeling young people may eventually realize that a traditional home life will provide the best answer to their needs after all. There is much evidence that in prehistoric times marital fidelity was a requisite, and this has carried its weight down through the ages. Os course, the Bible contains many passages that detail the rules for the conduct of marriage and the training of children. The importance of ail this is dramatically brought home in times of trouble; whether it be financial woes, illness, physical danger or whatever. At your House of Worship, learn not only the rules for a legitimate family life, but also the joys and advantages of it. In all history, there has never been a more satisfactory human arrangement, and there never will be.
UMW elects officers
The Lois Circle of the United Methodist Women's organization of Calvary Church in Syracuse recently hosted a dinner meeting for members and guests. Following the meal, Joan Sharp presented an informative rogram entitled, “The World Uprooted.” It concerned the homeless peoples of many countries who wander the face of the earth, searching for a place to put down their roots and begin life again after being forced from their homelands due to politics, disasters, starvation and other economic crises. At the conclusion of the program. Susie Tytler, president, conducted a business meeting. Part of the agenda included the election of executive officers for 1964. The slate, which had been prepared by Betty Eaton and
