"I'm young"

“NO, NO, NO! Today I don’t want to leave from my house. I don’t want to go to Church today! God understands me! He knows that I worked so much and hard this week and I’m so very tired now and I will not go to Church today, I didn't kill anyone! In a while I’ll leave with my “friend”, we will go to beach. Next week “if” I don’t work or do something else I can go to Church. I’m child of God too innit? I’m so tired!”

Unfortunately, this is what many youths  and much more have answered when someone is inviting them to go to Church in a Sunday Morning thinking that they will lose their youth because they are going to the Church or carrying the Bible. The fact is that many youths don’t want to have a real commitment with God! When a person doesn’t have a real commitment with God the disrespect and the lack of fear will be common in this person’s life and go or don’t go will not make any difference in her life. They don’t worry what the people will say and also what she’ll reap in their future. Many youths they say don’t have time to God or are so tired to go to Church in a Sunday Morning but when some of their “friends” invite them to go to the Party A or B, or this and that nightclub they don’t measure efforts to stay there to date and flirt many girls, they don’t want to know about Church, God, Bible because they are blind, spiritually speaking, because of this world’s things.

This is a great problem that many youths think. Because they are young and “have many things to enjoy” the fact to go to Church is for old people or square attitude. To be a Christian is not only to go to Church but is do give the entire life to the Lord Jesus forgetting and abandoning the old things, the bad friendship and evil ways. This is not easy but if you want to have a new life with new friends and new thoughts have sure that the Lord Jesus is your salvation and in Him you can find all your answers. Always remember: To be young is NEVER to leave of dream. But to be a Young of God you must deny yourself, your bad and old friendship and before today to follow the Steps of the Lord. Don’t think that to be a Young Christian is to abandon the things that you like to enjoy but you can’t forget: “Everything is permissible but neither everything is good.”
