Reaching Your World with Luis Palau

Our Unheroic Age


Listen Later

I was reading a recent article by Warren Kozak about our “unheroic age.” The article was written after another athlete’s use of performance-enhancing drugs was made public. In this article the author lamented the lack of real-life, everyday heroes as role models for our children, saying, “forget about athletes as role models. It would just be nice if there were more fathers in the house.”  Kozack wrote about the public downfalls of today’s would-be heroes. But the author remembered the heroes of his childhood as the more ordinary kind- a Boy Scout leader, teacher, and others, writing, “Not one of them walked with a swagger. They were the most understated men, who rarely, if ever, talked about their experiences.”
If you’re looking to reach your world, there is a serious void in many young people’s lives. You can be the one to show them a constancy of life by simply being there. And you can share with them the only hero truly worthy of the title- Jesus Christ. People will always let us down. We are a fallen race!  Young people are looking for a hero and many are having a difficult time finding one. Share with them the Good News today. Jesus is the “author and perfector of our faith.” Introduce a friend to Him. You’ll be glad you did.
