What is the greatest day of a
Christian teenager’s life:
Choose from the following by clicking a button:
The day that teenager...
...first "falls in love" with a special boy /girl?
...gets his/her drivers license?
...graduates from high school?
...teenager gets married?
All of these are important days to be sure, but would you believe
that you are wrong, whatever your answer? The real answer was E. None of
the above.
I am firmly convinced that the greatest day in a Christian
teenager’s life is the day that they can say, by themselves becauseit is morally and spiritually right, "NO"to Satan’s
temptations and win an important victory for self and Christ!
It is the day that a
Christian teenage girl says "no" to a boy she may even be in
love with because she wants to keep her body pure and leave sex
where God put it (in the marriage relationship).
It is the day that a Christian boy or girl says "No"to their peers and refuses to drink alcoholic beverages.
It is the day that a Christian teen says "No" to the
temptation to try drugs.
It is the day that a Christian teen listens to their godly parent’s
advice and stand as an individual who does not have to "go
along with the crowd."
It is the day they say "No" to Satan and "Yes"
to Jesus Christ!
Solomon said in the long ago,
"Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of
man"
(Ecc
12:13)
May God bless our teenagers when they reach the
greatest day of their lives.
