Wow, can I feel the energy flow here. If there is any one that the Lord has changed their life in the latter years,they know how important this topic is.

I am a 37 year old man, with three boys, two which live with me and the other with his mom. That right there should be enough to tell you that this topic is dear to me. I have the scars of Sin, I have the mind that faces yesterday each day. I have the heart that cries out to God to teach me to build a battlement around my boys mind.

I have just recently contacted my oldest son, after 7 years. And I was really shocked by the things that was important to him. I don't blame anyone but sinnful flesh. The contrast of his life to my 5 year old is very clear. The differnt thing is JESUS.

I agree with Bro. Bear, JESUS is the key. but I would like to make it clear that I am talking about a tangiable JESUS, one that is real. Often in "Church going" families Jesus is a Sunday, thing. Brother I met a Jesus that is in every part of my life. Even in my weakness, it is my Love toward him that condemns my heart. Listen these young boys need to know the depths of who he is and what he did.

Do not sell him cheap as a ticket from hell, He has come to save his people from their sins.

The saddest thing to hear of is young people still in school having babies, and to me the having the baby is not the sad part, it is the fact that some young man took part in that and denied the power of God. And I know most of the young boys in this area where I live claim to be born again. So somewhere they have failed to learn the power in the childhood song,
"There is a father up above looking down in tender love"

I think brother that our generation has held to the values of the world too long, and it shows in our fear of how to address a pure life. Simple fact, If Ye Love ME Keep My comandments.

Have we as an the older ones really laid hold to who we are. As the sons of God, and what Jesus did. He did not save me from hell, that is a given, He saved me from me. Put on a new mind and heart after the things of the Father. Which he said Be thou Holy as I am Holy. Do we serve a tangiable Christ or just some feel good in spirit thing.

Well I parise God that I met a 180 degree Christ, and now it is my duty to tell everyone that I meet it is because one day a man told me to go home and find Jesus. When I did that my life changed.

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Romans 13:14

Look I am not saying this has to be a beat them over the head thing, but the world has had enough control over what is called "The Chruch long enough" It is about time that we start to cut off things that offend and set our minds on the pure things of God.

I wish people would stop praising sin in their life and move one to the power of God through Jesus and cast sin out of their life, then I belevie honest young people that met Jesus will line themeselves up with men of God who love not this world and the things of it.

I know that I said I would not take alot of time, but this one topic is the eye opener of where we are. Do you want to know how important Christ is in you church. Watch the lives of the young people that are around you. What are they talking about before start time and as soon as the last Amen is said, are they talking about the thrills of a worldly life or are they talking about the things of the Lord.

God will have his people, but the fact is he has no joy in any soul that is destroyed.

I will stop but I hope you can see, I will pray for you and this work. If you want to know more about me PM me. When Jesus found me I was walking in tombs of life. And now that I am in my right mind, yeah, you see, I will tell every young person, old person, they do not have to live in sin anymore.

For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin condemend sin in the flesh, Romans 8:3

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:1

Yeah, thats right, no longer live therein. Let the Love of the Lord draw our hearts to him and minds ever on the good things of his power which calls us from the world of sin, to the peace of Pureness.

Finally I feel that I have said enough, I thank God for what he called me out of, so my boys, by his grace do not have to go there.
