RAISING TEENS FOR CHRIST

           A relationship with God is not totally different from other forms of relationship. We all know that God is our father, and the creator of the heaven and earth.            Now being in a relationship with God is more like a father and  son relationship, having that mutual, cordial, and lovely relationship.            God as the creator, yearns for a relationship with us, that was why he sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins, that he might reconcile us back to himself.  There are some questions you might be asking yourself as a teenager: 1) Must I have a relationship with God?  2) What does it mean to be in a relationship with God?  Must I have a relationship with God?             I will give you an answer "no", you must not, but it is a thing of choice. Living a fruitful teenage life and enjoying your  future after your ...

                           What first came to your mind when you heard about relationships?              I know it must be dating or a boy and girl relationship.              Now, what is relationship?  From the Oxford English Dictionary, relationship has 4 definitions : 1) Connection or association; the condition of being related.        2) Kinship; being related by blood or marriage.                                3) A romantic or sexual involvement.                                                  4) A way in which two or more people  behave and are involved with each other.            ...

                     F irstly, I would want you to know who a role model is.                According to the English Oxford Dictionary, a role model is defined as "a person who serves as an example ,whose behavior is emulated by others." With this definition, we can also say that a role model is someone that influences a  person's life especially, younger person.          A role model can be a clergy, a friend, your parents, a celebrity etc, its just anybody whose success tends to motivate you in becoming a useful individual.          Growing up as a kid, I always admire rich people, and I keep telling myself that, I would be rich like them, but it doesn't just end at admiring them. I started making a research about their success story, I understood that you cannot wish to be rich and wealth would come. I followed the footprints of a man, ...

                    A teen needs love not rejection, praises not curses, motivations and encouragements. They need those inspiring voices to continue ringing in their ears. For these words, when expressed even in actions, speaks volumes to their souls. This stage, the teen doesn't think he can rise, all he thinks about is the opportunity wasted and failed projects; trusts broken and hopes shattered. This is the sad music the walls of their heart absorb the feeling of unworthiness.            An average teenager, full of dreams and life might see the wavering storms and plan on ways to conquer. He  might work on these tactics and might be progressing, however, the views from different people(their disapproving comments) restrains the teen from moving forward. This demotivation can come from people very close the teen like parents, siblings or friends.             ...

                            DEPRESSION AND PARENTAL HATRED.         As a teenager develops, they witness certain changes in their psychological and emotional statuses. These changes arises from their new life - life as a teenager.         A teen is prone to be sentimental about things and impulsive in taking decisions. However, the outcomes of these decisions does not always turn out right.   The thinking faculty of a teen cannot be compared to that of an adult, neither a child; teenagers are leaving childhood stage with it's elements and entering adulthood with whatever comes with it and so, they don't think childish neither do they think as matured as the average adult. Driven by their passion and high expectations, they are faced with the risks associated with disappointments. This forms the bedrock of my exposition.        ' Growing up, I had...

Monuments fall, nations perish, civilization grow old and die out.        After an era of darkness, new races build others.
