Consistency

Last week I looked at various issues to do with salvation, and maybe thorugh out some ideas of topics that maybe need some further exploration with our young peopl. this week, I want to maybe be a bit more contravertial in some people's eyes,a nd suggest some pointers as to what might make a successful youthwork. The first issue, I want to tackle, today, and will tackle others as the week goes on. consistency is something which I would suggest is paramount in youthwork. 1: We need to be consistant in our approach to all young people. We cannot have favourites, and we cannot treat some differently to others. 2: We have to be cnsistant ourselves: that is we need to be there as much as possible, rotas do not really work, and do not allow the possibility for relaitonship to build, how can consistancy be there if we are putting in rotas all thetime. If rotas are in place, then the young poeple won't know who they are meant to go too, and they won't know who is ith them on any particular occasion. Consistancy is like the flavour, you can tell how something tastes by the consistancy of the mixture, so where is our consistancy, as far as our young people are concerned. Let me put it to you, that Jesus was totally consistant in his approach to people, and he was there for the people who were around him. god continues this since the death and resurrection of Jesus, in that he is always there, and always cnsistant in how he treats us, deals with us, and is always there for us, maybe we need to demonstrate some of that consistancy in our approach to youthwork.
