Cont. from Page 31 The second observation is th is : There is a spirit of rebellion. The target of this rebellion is the establishment — any routine pattern of society. So we see unclean youths with long hair. This must be a rebellion against bathing and haircuts. The extreme dress is a defiance of conformity in dress. Dr. Timothy Leary, the high-priest of the hippies, has expressed it this way: “What an exciting prospect, a genera tion of creative youngsters refusing to march in step, refusing to go to offices, refusing to sign up on the installment plan, refusing to climb aboard the tread mill.” The Christian also is to be a non-conformist. God has made that clear in Romans 12:2, “Be not conformed to this world.” Thus there is presented to us a wonderful opportunity to lay before our young people the Christian life as a life of real challenge. The third observation is th is : Young people are bent on a search for reality. They are fed up with the phony and the hypocritical.- The police chief of Los Angeles said recently, “We need to help young people get a system of values.” This they can find in the person of Jesus Christ who said, “I am the way,- the truth, and the life.” What a wonderful privilege it is 'to lead young people to Him! He is genuine, true, and real. There is noth ing phony in Him. He also says, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will rest you.” What a tremendous invitation to lay before heavy-hearted young people. But the church faces a very real problem in communicating the Gospel to young people. I t is one thing to have the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I t is quite another thing to get this across to young people today. How can we overcome the barriers? How can we bridge this communication gap? I believe the answer lies in two words: Understand and Challenge. If we are going to reach young people today and help them to mature in Christ, we must make a real attempt to understand them.
