Where are the Godly men?

Psalm 12:1-2 (NASB)
1Help, LORD, for the godly man ceases to be, for the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
2They speak falsehood to one another; with flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.

A recent statistic noted by Summit.Org, a Christian training organization, stated that less than 0.5% of 18-23 year olds have a Biblical world view. No wonder the Psalmist lamented that Godly men are disappearing. In each period of history, it only takes a generation to drift away from the truth of God.

This statistic points out why it is so critical that our churches focus on the youth. Not just the youth that attend on Sunday, but also the youth that are out in the community.

I praise God that Kevin Witten has that calling and has taken on that challenge. He and Virginia have a special reason to work hard to bring the youth of this community to Christ and that is because precious Cora will grow up and live in the world that we shape for her. Will it be a world of Godly men and women?

Let’s pray for the youth, that Kevin and those that support the youth ministry will be so on fire for Jesus that it will start a wildfire of conversions, that many will join the battle, that revival will take root and grow.

Let’s pray BIG for our youth.

Always praying for the glory of God,

  1. Chris,
    To pray for our youth has been heavy on my heart. Satan would like to destroy their faith.
    I join you in praying for protection for them..that God will place a protective hedge around them and keep their hearts from straying from the truth.
