If I am a teenager, am I important to the Lord's Kingdom? Is there anything out there for me?? |

Let No man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 |

In Word- Our speech is one of the most telling signs that we're a faithful child of God. By controlling ourselves in how we speak, what words we use, and how we use them we can be a great example of a godly, wise and intelligient teenager. Proveerbs 15:4 "A wholesome toungue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a breach of the spirit" |
|
|
|
In Conversation- aka Manner of living- The activities we choose to involve ourselves in, not only as a group of Christians, but individually, can make or break our example and credibility as a faithful young Christian. We need to consider in all activities of life, whether what we are doing is a benefit and blessing, or a hinderance and stumbling block, not only to ourselves, but also those who see us as an example. |
|
|
|
In Charity- Showing that we care, not only for ourselves and our families, but all people (especially those who are in the Lord's church), goes a long way toward a well developed, scripturally grounded walk as a young Christian. The genuine care of others is all of our responsibility, and will ensure that the world will see your good works because of it, and glorify your Father in Heaven. |

In Spirit- Psalm 51:10 "Create in me a clean heart O God, and renew a right spirit within me" Romans 8:6- "To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually mided is life and peace"

10 Tips on How to Be an active example in the Lord's Church.......
1) Avoid the three abominations to our God- Lust of the Flesh, Lust of the Eyes, and the pride of Life.
2) Understand that the entire congregation is EVERY Soul is of the utmost importance......We are one body, and members in particular. Every member of every age in the Lord's church is of EQUAL value and importance to God! We all have talents and abilities that are different and at varying degrees of development. We need to encourage, support, and edify each other. You may or may not realize the impression that the term "Youth Group" leaves in the minds of many members of the church, but, over the last 20-30 years, it has come to stand for a SEPARATE entity from the church itself, and has spawned many kinds of liberalistic changes in the Lord's Church. We have to be EXTREMELY careful that we have the correct priorities in our lives-
The first of which is SERVING THE LORD. Not social development. Not Fun. Not seeing how many |
