"Could it be that we’ve over-focused on the family to the

point where we’ve become so ingrown and out of balance

that we’ve not only neglected a hurting world, but have for

-gotten to teach our kids about natural, loving, outward-fo

-cused service, together, in the name of Jesus? And what if

this missing piece of the Christian family puzzle is why so

many teens walk away from their faith and church as soon

as they can? Their heads are stuffed with Bible knowledge,

but they don’t see Jesus showing up and changing lives

around them, so why bother with the religious crap?"

-The Righteous Brood: Making Your Family the Front Line of Mission, Hugh Halter (p 15-16)
