AUTHOR: Uratzius | | | I'm sorry, but I AM a Christian parent, and I do raise my kids as such. However, it's not up to YOU to pass judgement on those people who don't. Also, don't judge people, especially teens by how they dress. Just because they dress or look a certain way, doesn't mean they don't have morals. I come from a very good church, and there are LOTS of teens there, who dress like everyone else dressess, but they're not hores or harlets. They are fantastic, Christian, bible reading, praise and worship leading, GOOD kids! So don't lump them all together as a bad crowd. You're supposed to be showing others what a Christian is supposed to be like, and by judging people before you know anything about them, you're definately not acting like a Christian. If you want to really do good in spreading the word about Jesus, then get out there and get to know some of these teens you're talking about. By getting to know them and learning where they are coming from, and modeling the correct behavior for them, they'll see that being a Christian isn't as "nerdy" as they may have thought in the first place.
Pastor Mario Morillo from San Francisco, had a big revival in that town last year. Did you know they had 3000 youths come to Jesus in a SINGLE day? Those youths were druggies, hookers, and gang bangers. The scum of society supposedly. And just by talking to them, Mario and his staff, turned them towards the life of a Christian.
So, there's a challenge for you. Your duty is to help spread the word yes,...but not by degrading or insulting or passing judgement. It's by showing grace, having mercy, and tolerance, for people who have lost their way. Pray about that. I know God will show you what he had in mind for you.
Blessings to you.
