Bible Answer: Hello needinghim, Welcome to the forum. Don’t be discouraged by the advise that this forum is not for counseling. They are right, it is not. But if we are unable to apply it to the real life issues of brothers and sisters in need then our vigorous study is of little use. What we learn should be applied, in our own lives as well as to serve others. Some have redirected you to your local church leadership. They were right to do so. But we on the forum are also the church. If we are unable to respond to a brother in need, then our study is of little value. Feel free to continue participating in this forum, there are a lot of really good bible students and teachers (some have responded to you already) and much to be gained from participating. In the future, when you are in need of direction from God’s word, post in the form of a general question being sure to ask something like, “what does the bible say about this or that”. Many are more comfortable with this type of presentation. With that said I go out on a limb to make an assumption. I’m thinking that you, having been a youth pastor, already know the answer you are looking for. It’s probably been “creeping” up in your mind all along. It’s probably something you have taught and counseled one or more youth on before. Sometimes it’s not finding the answer that we need, but rather, being obedient to what we have already been given. Phi 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: With love, Jeff |
