My church hosts a big, well-known youth conference every year, and the fliers for this year's conference recently went out. No big deal--except that no one looked them over first. Within days the youth pastor received 17 phone calls complaining about the flier. Was there a faux pas inducing spelling error? No. A screwed up Bible verse? Nope. a vulgar reference of any sort? No way. The thing that caused so much problem: a picture featuring guys whose hair covered their ears.
So...17 grown adults felt the need to call and cause a fuss.
What is wrong with us?! We're more concerned about a picture with shaggy-headed young men than with changing young hearts for the Lord. What a sad, sad commentary on Chrisitanity! Let's grow up, folks, and learn to be concerned with things that actually matter.
