In respect to the younger generation, the value we place on youth is subjective & conditional. When it comes to their vibrance & youthfulness, we almost covet it. On the flip side, in regards to knowledge & insight, they now become insignificant.
This level of inconsistency plays a major role in the moral & motivation of the next generation. Truth is if we don’t instill value within them, we’ll potentially lose them. This not only is influenced by the older generations, the youth themselves play a role in this as well.
Paul in his pastoral letter to Timothy, refuted this very matter. Within our text in I Timothy 4 lies insight & inspiration for youth & the local church, on how to successfully empower the church of today.
