We live in an instant society. What could this mean for the students you are trying to reach? Here are a few things that stand out.
1. We are Impatient. If a website doesn’t load in 4 seconds we are out of there. Also, almost 50% of americans are skipping theaters and movie stores for pirated movies because of connivence. A few times a year, my youth ministry takes time away from the speed of our culture to actively slow down, and try to listen to God. Our expectations of speed in everything doesn’t translate well into relationships. Relationships take time, and especially our relationship with God. How can your youth ministry value relationships this coming year?
2. We are rude. The other day I was waiting in line at starbucks for a coffee, and it was taking forever! When I mean forever, I mean 5 minutes. I remember thinking after that day, why do I feel like this? Why am I being such a jerk if my coffee isn’t served right away. According to this infographic, 1 in 5 people admitted to being rude if they were being served too slowly. I see that all the time. Actually, I do that all the time! Lately, I have been seeing people for who they are, children of God. How can we get rid of this rudeness?
