Kids today are not animals . . . but real people, honest enough with themselves to know that established society doesn't have the answer to the spiritual yearning within: who am I, and why am I? I believe they would rather die by means of mina- stretching drugs than live as an "impossible fake." They want to be "flat out". To them, being "high" il the NEWS anniversary celebration for Mr; and Mrs. Newton Selby in Newcastle Community Hall.

Pepsi-generation is to discover that all natural things are spiritual and all spiritual things are natural. One reason kids are turned off on organized religion is because it has taught that you cannot experience this "high" in church. .. rather, you learn the discipline of enduring to the end of staying awake through the sermon. Shame on the church. Christianity was never meant to be a load . . but a lift. To really experience Jesus in one's life is not boring but it is the ultimate high: and none of these imitation "highs" can accomplish what Jesus himself intends to accomplish in us. Where then, does the problem lie? The our beautiful answer is obvious. These kids want to get involved. Every other religion offers partici- Sation. The adherents ecome actively involv- ed. Observe the kids as they listen to modern music: they aren't listening, they are participating. True Christianity is not a matter of observa- tion but participation. It is not just another religion but coming to know the person of Jesus Christ in a real and personal way: first as your saviour and then as a very close friend. At 15 years of age, I found this to be the most satisfing "high" of my life. What God has done for me, he will do for anyone who will be honest and open with himself and God. So, get involved, discover who Jesus real- ly is and your search for reality will have ended.
