*I've pondered this question for a while..
Speaking out for anything other than Rangers is not my bag..
*So I'm going to dig in the heals of my surf sandals and speak<G>
Beleve it or not.. Royal Rangers is a game.
It works best when we all play the game.<G>
*In this "game" we all have a part...
The Boy..
The Parent..
The Leader..
The Church..
The purpose of the "game" is to wise up the boy<G>
How we play the game is gental... so that we don't get ahead of
unfolding too much, too soon... A boy.. for all his loud noise is a
fragile egg<G> (some are rotten!)
Every "Boy" needs a place to play... Adults can make that happen.
Every "Boy" dreams of ADVENTURE
Every boy will be a familyman one day..
The name of the "game" for a boy is:
"*WHAT WILL I BECOME AS A MAN"
------------------------------
He must- and WILL CONFRONT THAT! *Time will tell!
....will I choose Honor? or will I fail to keep my word.
....Who will I allways remain faithfull too? God? Church? Family?
Friends? Surfing?<g>
Ethics and Abideing respect of the Lord!
The name of the "Game" for a leader is:
=======================================
"What will I do to make this "Game" come alive?"
-----------------------------------------------
We have some TALL ORDERS!
..for nowhere in the AG Church does a young man have any "requirements"
placed on him... *Be warned.. that some label this notion "out-dated"
but ask.. "How can I discuss the articals of Faith" with boys?
That get's a little "dry"<G>
*But in Rangers we can USE THE TOOLS (Brain power) and the boys get "IT"
from a real life dude!<G>
Ranger Leaders also "Out-live" the 18 month life of a Youth Pastor<G>
*That means...along with growing up, watching you is a powerfull
steading force of LOVE! Commanders job is for the LONG HAUL!
Building BOY-LEADERS! builds wisdom and wise councilors<G>
Parents...
Church...
*I've said e-nuff!
