This text contains the Shema, which specifically charges the Israelite parents and instructs them how to teach the commandments of God to their children. God’s plan, as seen throughout the Scriptures, has been for parents to instruct their children in the commands of God. God promised His blessings as generation to generation loved and obeyed Him. But neglect and disobedience brought disaster upon Israel. Today, God’s people need to heed the instruction of Deuteronomy 6, taking special care to train the children, to avoid similar disaster.[hr]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteven R.

He states that within a culture that is so enamored with youth culture, it would be inconceivable for the church, let alone society-at-large, to despise those who actually are young. Broadly speaking, culture within the United States has an obsession with youth. Within this youth culture is the intrinsic need to rebel, especially against basic authorities. Phenomena such as extended adolescence and the juvenilization of American Christianity (Bergler, 2012) bring these problems immediately to the church’s doorstep, if not inside. Yet, in our ministry to families, and youth in particular, we often herald 1 Timothy 4:12 as our ministerial mantra. We encourage youth to “let no one despise them,” assuming a division and rebellion between youth and the rest of culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile we rightfully encourage youth to be prepared for possible coming derision, we must hold this exhortation in accordance to Paul’s full teaching. That is to say, we must hold 1 Timothy 4:12 in tandem with the varied statements in 1 Timothy 5. It is the aim of this article to place 1 Timothy 4:12 in its correct context of Paul’s admonition. In doing so, it will hold a biblical understanding of 1 Timothy 4:12 up and against a prevailing cultural interpretation of the text. Further, the article will explore how to keep our youth and family ministries from cultural syncretism by balancing ministries between an appreciation for youth and a respect for elder authority. This will conclude with the practical implications found therein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeywords:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e 1 Timothy, Authority, Elder, Ministry, Rebellion, Youth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChris Talbot\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Program Coordinator for Youth and Family Ministry at Welch College in Nashville, Tennessee.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D6 Family Ministry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44143316631724,"sku":"01tDn000007aalnIAA","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/9573\/1116\/files\/D6-Fam-Min-journal-3d.jpg?v=1740583733"},{"product_id":"parents-can-be-the-church-s-ministry-multipliers","title":"Parents Can Be the Church’s Ministry Multipliers","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a PDF Download\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf an adult or child receives on average only one hour of spiritual influence per week, how does a church acquire more opportunities to provide coaching or instruction?
