Win them with love
Talk to people. Notice visitors. Invite new people over for lunch. Let your teenager’s friends hang out at your house. Love won’t guarantee the young people will never walk away from your church, but it will make it a lot harder. It won’t guarantee that non-Christians will come to Christ, but it will make the invitation more attractive.

Amaze them with God
I beg of you, don’t go after the next generation with mere moralism…The gospel is a message not about what we need to do for God but about what God has done for us. So get them with the good news about who God is and what he has done for us.

Challenge them with truth
People want to learn doctrine. They really do, even non-Christians. Whether they accept it all or not, they want to know what Christians actually believe. Young people will not put up with feel-good pablum. They want the truth straight up, unvarnished, and unashamed.

Hold them with holiness
The one indispensable requirement for producing godly, mature Christians is godly, mature Christians…If we are holy, we will be fruitful. Personal connections with growing Christians are what the next generation needs more than ever.

Grab them with passion
We’ll be far less likely to lose our young people and far more likely to win some others if the spiritual temperature of our churches is something other than lukewarm. People need to see that God is the all-consuming reality in our lives.

You just have to be like Jesus. That’s it. So the easy part is you don’t have to be with it. The hard part is you have to be with him. If you walk with God and walk with people, you’ll reach the next generation.
