The last thing a church should do is cater to the desires of peoples hearts, no matter what their age.
Thinking, in general, is discouraged now.
My poor son has two years ahead of him of rah-rah, cheesy Jesus music, as he begins the teen Confirmation program at our parish, in the fall. Luckily, he knows the Church, and its music, is bigger than that.
I highly doubt the Bible does not challenge young adults. Frankly, the ones I have heard on Waters world would have a tough time pointing out where Sodom and Gomorrah were on an atlas.
My mother always said that if you have to provide entertainment to get kids into church their being there doesn’t mean much. I wonder if all the rock star extravaganza church services that seem so popular especially among the younger group ever produce any real religious roots. The thumping guitars, banging drums and rattling tambourines that constitute many of the modern liturgies fail in my sense to ever instill any prayerfulness.

Only the Jesus, Lord and Christ, will do. The older child who has been convinced that he/she was saved by infant baptism has the wrong faith and the wrong Christ, whatever else he/she is taught.
