#12. Using speaking time in “BIG-CHURCH” to plug youth ministry

Youth pastors love to use up front time in “BIG CHURCH” to plug youth ministry.  It’s like our product that we have to sell to the congregation to get them interested or involved.  It doesn’t matter when or what topic… we can plug it in.  ”And God called Moses to lead the children of Israel… and that’s why you too should get involved with youth ministry.  God may be calling you to help out with students.”  or “But Jael, Heber’s wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him… She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died.’ friends… that’s why we need you in youth ministry.”  {okay… a little exaggeration… but you get the idea}.
