Welcome to Every Thought Captive. I’m Phil Steiger, Pastor at Quail Lake Community Church.
Should teenagers be taught doctrine and theology in church? According to Time magazine, the latest trend among youth pastors is to return to Bible-centered youth groups. In the light of a large number of teens that have left the faith in the last couple of decades, many youth leaders have reacted by educating their teens in the essentials of the faith. One researcher recently quoted in Time said, “The vast majority of teens who call themselves Christians haven't been well educated in religious doctrine and therefore don't really know what they believe.”
Knowing God intimately is the best way to secure a relationship with Him. Many young people have grown up without being taught the fundamental truths about Christ—who He is and why He is unique—and have faded from the faith as a result. It is not hard to give up something that you were never sure of in the first place.
