The Golden Compass

Parents might be wondering what impact culture has on their teens. As youth workers, we encourage parents to help their children biblically engage culture, which means more than merely opposing culture, we want to find ways to bring Christ to the center of our lives, especially our art and entertainment. The new movie, The Golden Compass, offers parents and concerned adults an opportunity to engage their teens and present a biblical world view about the surrounding culture, which often obscures the message of Good News in Christ. The following link (click on the hyperlinked movie title), written by the Center for Parent and Youth Understanding, is a voice which challenges us to critically engage movies like The Golden Compass with our teens and with Christ.
