I've opened the can of worms...finally

Tonight's youth group was amazing. I don't know how it happened, but something changed. We started by playing a simple game of defending stupid convictions like which football team is better, etc. Then we sang a song. Then we began to talk about the hope of a Christian and before I knew it I was being flooded with questions.

"How do I know God exists?" "Why did Moses get a burning bush and I get nothing?"
"How I can trust that the Bible is true?" "How do I know that Jesus really existed?"

"What happens to people after they die, but before the return of Christ?"

"Why did God allow humans to sin?" "Why did he let Lucifer fall?"

"What about evolution?" "Why doesn't our church talk about speaking in tongues?"
"How did you get from asking all these questions to becoming our youth pastor?"

Once they started - their heads started to spin. I knew exactly what they were going through. One question brings up another question and another and none of them are easily answered. This was what I had been waiting for. This was the moment I had been working toward these last few months - this is why I am here for them.

Youth lasted an extra hour tonight and I didn't even get to half the stuff I planned. It was wonderful - God moved in a major way.
