Meet them where they are

We live in a season where our young ppl feel hopeless. No fear, no drive, no respect.

Acts 3:1-10
In this passage: A man was at the church door, everyday they brought him to church... 40 years, but no one cared enough to bring him into the church. The church ppl daily walked past him. 

This is what we do to our children. Drop them off at the doorway to deliverance but we don't take them in.

Peter & John were stopped by a man who needed change. It didn't say that they picked the man up or drug him to church or told him we are gonna get into the church around saints where we can deal with your issues. They assisted the man right where he was. This is what we need to do. "Meet them where they are." Peter said, "look at us"...in other words, before u can have what I got, you have to listen to what I have to say. Then he spoke to him on his level, "..where he was." Be relevant to that nation in order to make impact. They took this man by the right hand & empowered him. (the right hand is the hand of authority). Once the man got up he followed them into the church.
