Have you ever thought that things that you don't stand for or speak of still teach a message? If you are apathetic towards something it still teaches an underlining message that you don't care.
I was challenged this week in my youth ministries class to think about how I teach, specifically with my students. I can teach that something is not important by specifically not talking about it. If I don't encourage my students to invite friends then I am saying inviting friends isn't important. Same with prayer, reading the bible, or anything else for that matter. Really made me think a little...especially in the case of our student leadership team.
So, I guess the question is...do you speak for what you stand for or does your silence convey the message?
