"...We need passion, a zeal fueled by knowledge (Rom. 10:2). Young people want to see that our faith actually matters to us. They are like Ben Franklin when asked why he was going to hear George Whitefield preach. 'You don't even believe what he says,' people told Franklin. To which he replied, "I know. But he does.'
"If our evangelical faith is boring to us, it will be boring to others. If the gospel is old news to you, it will be dull to everyone else.
"We cannot pass on what we do not feel...."
-- Kevin DeYoung, "Don't Call It a Comeback" (Crossway 2011) p. 23
