Why was this girl's parents not involved in her spiritual education? Why did this girl'd youth ministry fail her in that they usurped the scriptural authority of the parents to be the spiritual educators of their child? I have a feeling that when a youth ministry usurps the authority of God and the authority of parents as the spiritual leaders of their children, then there is going to be a spiritual price to pay.
