Summary: A message for teenagers about not wasting their youth.
This fallen world is not an easy place and things will not fall magically into place for you or anyone else. People who enjoy “the good life” for the most part work very hard to possess it.
You are in for a rude awakening if you your plan is to be a Doctor but you really don’t like to read.
Are you hoping for a “Brain Surgery made Easy” video to come out? It’s not going to happen!
Proverbs 23:12
Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.
4. Don’t waste time in bad relationships.
I think in my years as a Youth Pastor I have seen more young people shipwreck their faith over a bad relationship than anything else under the sun.
All the emotional turmoil, all the foolish fantasy, the Romeo and Juliet thing when someone’s parents forbid the “love”; and let’s not forget the nightmare of pre-mature sexual activity, it’s enough to make me want to drink the poison. Here’s the deal; if I see one person a camping trip this summer moping around in that atmosphere of pure fun because he/she doesn’t love me I will drag you home behind the bus instead of inside it. Are we clear?
You have work to do, a life to live, and some of you have lost ground that needs to be made up so let’s get going; because, time’s a wastin’!
