My question is, however, who will earn their ears and win their hearts and loyalties? Who will help shape their worldview and what then will be the outcomes? How will their righteous indignations and rebellions be manifest and what disciplines will they apply to form the movement they will drive?

This is a visual representation of as christians, where our efforts at ministry should be.Jesus always placed an emphasis on children for a reason. If we are going to be the church of Christ, we need to show His love,His compassion,His understanding, His pre-eminence to a generation that has received a tainted version of the Real Thing....through media manipulation,mockery and parody - and of course COMMERCIALISM - Our Savior has been reduced to a subject of ridicule in this pop culture.

Some one was commenting about VHS becoming obsolete, then some one else chimed in about DVDs being obsolete in their current state with the introduction of "blue-ray", and I let them know I see them all being obsolete compared with a personal storage device that can hold an entire collection of movies.
