Subject: Teen Christian Resource Website |
Bible Note: Doc, being a father who painfully endured and mercifully survived the dreadful syndrome of maladies known as 'teenage' that all three of our children came down with, I can empathize with your ordeal of addressing youth groups and appreciate your preference for dealing with criminals. :-) The nicest thing to be said for 'teenage' is that it, like the itch, lasts only seven years. I'm writing tongue in cheek banter, of course. Actually, I treasure in my heart many memories of my kids' teen-age years. Those turbulent years can be taxing on parents, true enough. But parents should not forget their own teen years: they need to bear in mind how difficult they often found the transition from childhood to adulthood, and thus treat their own teen sons and daughters with love, compassion, respect and patience. It wasn't always easy for me to keep my mind on MACBETH while paralyzed by the fear that Charlene would turn me down for a date Saturday night because my acne was acting up! ..... We need always to lift up in prayer the godly parents of teen-agers who are struggling to teach these kids God's worldview and how to cope in a hostile environment where they are being bombarded on all sides with a secular worldview. My heart, yea, my prayers, go out to godly parents and to ministers to the youth in the churches of our land. Theirs is not an easy job by any means. --Hank |
