Today’s youth live an entirely different world then past generations. They mature faster; learn faster, everything they do is faster. Families of today’s youth are changing. All of us can be a light of hope to the lost generation of youth.
Ever changing in a youth’s life is the knowledge of sex and participation in it. Media is everywhere. Almost all teenagers have access to the internet. They are knowledgeable in technical issues. Anger and violence is ever present in the lives of teens and their families. Teen violence can be seen everywhere. Most teens learn to deal with problems the wrong way.
We have a great opportunity to be a light in the darkness. You can help teens see the root of their problems, by showing them the love of God through Scripture, your actions, and teaching them. Take time to get to know each teen on a personal basis. Most importantly, model Jesus and show them the love of God.
