I believe young people any age, are caught up in the marvels of the current age. They also think they need to see positive feedback from their beliefs. I myself am 42yo, i do have faith and belief, but even myself wonder where is the signs the god is out there. Where is the prophets, where are the miralcles and divine interventions of the past. God took the slaves out of Egypt out of bondage, but what miracle intervention has he weaved to save the Jews from Hilter, after all that mass killing, why didnt he intervene? As a christian, I know i shouldnt question his reasons. But society, especially younger people, will question this.Young people, seem to need more tangible ways on proof god is listening. How can we possibly just instill faith to them? and others who need to see some current divineness in this world. Christian teens who are shying away from the church need the feeling of brotherhood in belief. More so churches seem to not be careing for individuals, as they want money, or bragging what they do or have. Jesus says, whereever two or more gather to worship him is a church. Big churches to me have the problem of being indifferent to individuals. They also come up with their own doctrines. One should only practice what is in the bible, not ad to it.
