becasue you really dont find alot of young people that ARE NOT ASHAMED to allow GOD to use them.. me personaly have been going to church all my life , but just about 3 years ago is when I became saved...I mean us as saved young people have alot of things that come at use daily.. because we are the next generation, and the devil knows that he is running out of time so he does everything in his power to destract us and try to cause us to astray from God and his will for our life...I wouldnt change the way I live my life for anybody...I mean Ive had some friends ask me is all you do is go to church??.. I feel If i miss the word that God is giving my pastors 4 ME I feel like Ive disowned God...We owe him so much....and people want to say how can you have faith in some one youve never seen..... my question to them is you have the faith that you will wake up in the morning right?you have the faith that when you put our feet on the floor you will walk? SO WHY NOT HAVE FAITH IN GOD??

Yes...
I totally agree with all that you have said...
Don't be discouraged by all the junk that the devil throws at you...
Wow I have also been in church all my life and just recently I have really felt the presence of God in my life, My family and I changed churches about 4 years ago, And that's when I felt I was able to freely worship God with all that I have... I had never had the chance to really worship and soak up the word of God before, Because of all the distractions that were around me I didn't really know God the way I do now!
I am so thankful that there are Teens out there that are not ashamed of Jesus' name.
Thanks for sharing and Like I said Don't be discouraged by every thing that the Devil throws at you...
Because we can overcome by the Blood of the lamb and the Words of our Testimony...
God Bless...

It's really nice to hear a young one being so bold for Jesus and The Creator who's name is Jehovah.
As a young person there is so much you are challenged by that the fact that you even consider Jesus is a wonderful thing.
You have built your house on a solid rock mass so please try to remember that the rushing sea will shape your rock mass.
Somethings that are a part of your foundation now will be washed away with the tide of experience but you continue to hold fast .Remember what Paul told the Corinthians at 1 Corinthians 13:9-13.
You will not be disappointed.
I love you.You continue to be strong.
May Jah fill you with His knowledge and may you become wiser!
Sincerely.

Keep your faith strong so it is not swallowed by the secular world. surround yourself with ppl of like mind, and then go tell others about it. I like to hear someone speak out. And I am glad you found the truth, and joined the ranks of the born again believer (I shouldn't assume but I am hoping that is what you meant). if you want to know some other ppl who walk straight and proudly with the Lord, look up these sites...
walk with the Lord in all you do, congratulations! Stay strong.

Why not try some independent bible study and find your own meaning for the bible? Why depend on someone to tell you what it means? I think it is great that you are saved and all, but what is the point of letting someone else tell you how to be a good person? I no longer go to church, but I have my own path and it is a good one. Try some independent study and see where it gets you. You may end up starting your own youth ministry.

faith in what?? a bunch of fairy stories in book centuries old, or faith in some religious corporation that espouses poverty while the leaders live in mansions and have more money than some countries? Sorry, but the day those mansions are sold and the proceeds are sent to feed starving kids in third world countries is the day I'll think about having faith.

I'm an atheist and I'm a teen. i mean everyone hates going to mass on Sundays coz its boring. if your really religious people automatically call you a "religious freak." so yeah i guess your in that stereotypical category. this new generation will include everything except God. Ppl are still going to believe in him. But who's going to read the bible and who's going to waste their time going to church?

God doesn't "use" us except for doing his work.
God knows how hard you're trying and is very understanding (he did, after all, come down to Earth and become Human)
