A MESSAGE FOR OUR YOUTH

​This is a tough time in your lives. Some of you are preparing to graduate High School and some from college. It is a time when hard decisions must be made like what college to attend, what place will hire me, and not knowing if there will still be a home to go to. Decisions will be made to enter the service of the military and service to the Lord. Challenges to faith and the very fabric of your being are going to make you think both decent and deplorable things. Your body is not yours it belongs to God, do not corrupt it with the things that you will regret later in life. It is also a temple for Jesus, do not share it with just anyone. Be proud of who you are but do not let pride lead to transgression and sin.  
Dear Children, you are loved and Jesus has your back. He treads where you dare not go and makes the way less difficult. He will give you challenges to help you grow, chide you in your disobedience, and test you to ensure you will not lose faith. So stay strong, steer straight, find balance, keep His Word on your heart and you will find success (see Joshua 1:1-9). You have so many people routing for you no matter what you may think.

​Brothers and Sisters in Christ, we are in a most turbulent hour. God's creation is getting disruptive and is trying to get our attention.  This is our time to show the world God's Love and mercy not His jealousy and vengeance, that is His. Show His tough  and Agape Love to ensure an understanding that we are all His. Do not hate, be kind, and stay in the boundaries of His Law. Governments and people pass away but His Word stands firm forever.
​Take care Brothers and Sisters, may the Love of God shower down upon you and guide you. May His patience and peace abide in you and grant you mercy and grace.
