God reached out,
touched my mouth,
and said, "Look!
I’ve
just put my words
in your mouth—hand-delivered!"
Jeremiah
1:9 paraphrased |
|
With all of our fashion,
we’re still incomplete.
The God of redemption
could break our routine.
There’s a new way
to be human;
it’s nothing we’ve ever been.
There’s a new way
to be human;
new way to be human.
song by Switchfoot
“New Way to Be Human”
|
Welcome to a place where we celebrate
that the words of God are in the mouths of young people! Right there --
in their daily words and deeds -- God’s life-giving love and God’s power
for re-making the world are found. Jeremiah was a young person who
thought he totally lacked the right qualifications and the necessary
courage, but God propelled him, and filled him, for announcing a new
reality and a new community.
 God
is still propelling and filling young people, calling them to sing of a
new way to be human, beyond Abercrombie and beyond the same old same
old. In Jesus, God has broken into the brokenness of the world and
called us to a new way of wholeness, justice, and peace.
In the real
lives of young people -- young people who have been called into life
with Jesus -- this new way is shouted out and acted out, for the church
and for the whole world.
Welcome to a place where we are
listening to and striving to amplify the voices and the songs of young
people, focusing on youth ages 14 to 18. Check out
ELCA Youth Ministry, and discover the ways
God’s words ARE in
their mouths!
