The world is full of many great things for us to enjoy such as parties, friendships, music, sport, food and drink and sex. The church, however, can often appear to possess only a neutral or negative message in relation to these things, which is one of the reasons so many teenagers and young people struggle with Christianity’s relevance. The answer is a much stronger theology of creation which recognises the original goodness of all that God has made. Thinking through God’s intention in creating the good things of the world can hopefully lead to us handling these things as well as possible and then receiving more of his blessings through them.
