"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
Most teenagers believe that they can do no more than go to school, and maybe get married one day. This is the best of what society feeds us. But there is so much more. So much more.
We as a generation need to step out and change. We are the generation of technology, of chaos, of terrorism, but we are also the generation of revolution. We can change the world with every day of our lives and everything we do, no matter where.
From a Christian perspective, this is even more clear. We can bring more people to God. It doesn't matter if you're a Catholic, Anglican, Baptist. It doesn't matter if your skill is rap, art, maths, friendliness. We have all been given great gifts from God and they are part of His image! We need to step out in faith and tell the world. We need to use our gifts. We can do so much. Don't just sit there and pray that someone would fix the world. You may be God's answer to your own prayer.
"There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines." - 1 Corinthians 12:4-11
Let us go out and tell the word. We have all got different gifts. I will be encouraging you through this with, what hopefully will be weekly updates on this book, and alerts for our fellow believers around the world. Please try to keep reading. We need to Rise.
It is Our Time to Fight Back.
