~Choochi's Christian Teens Advice Blog~

Hey! So I decided to open up this blog because it's a great way to spread the gospel, but not be too overwhelming like a sermon. It's just little teenage column with a little advice!

Issues Teenagers Face Today

The following are issues that teenagers face today and God's advice concerning them. He shows His love to us by addressing these issues outright and not in a "wishy-washy, do whatever you want" type of way.

Drugs
Galatians 5:19-21 says, "Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these ... idolatry, witchcraft, hatred ... they which do these things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." The word witchcraft comes from the Greek word, "Pharmakeia", whereby we get the English word, "Pharmacy". It means literally, "an enchantment with drugs" or a "spell giving potion." This same Greek word is translated with the word "sorcery" in Revelation 9:21; 18:23;22:15. In Revelation 21:8 it says, "But the fearful, and unbelieving ... and sorcerers (drug users) ... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

Alcohol
"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." Proverbs 20:1 "Be not among wine bibbers ... for the drunkard ... shall come to poverty and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags."Proverbs 23:20-21 "Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine..." Proverbs 23:29-30.

Marriage
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."Genesis 2:24. The monogamous family is God's first divine institution on earth. That is: one husband for one wife for one life time! Jesus said, "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." Matthew 19:6

Work
"For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that I any would not work, neither should he eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10

Parents - Authority
"Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."Exodus 20:12. "Children, obey thy parents in the Lord, for this is right." Ephesians 6:1

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil." Romans 13:1-3.

Money
"For the LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil." I Timothy 6:10. There is nothing wrong with having money. It is loving money that the root of all evil. A safe rule to live by is to control your money, don't let it control you!

Salvation
"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, an this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; That ye may know you have eternal life..." I John 6:11-13.

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31.

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13.

What Choochi Says:

These commandments are not to bring us into the bondage of a bunch of "do's" and "don'ts". They are rather the wisdom of a loving father, who knows more than we do, who wants us to be free from addictions, diseases, broken lives, broken homes, etc.

Keep these scripture references. Consult them often. Exercise good discipline and character in your teen years and you will enjoy the best of it throughout your life!

Thanks for Reading!!!!

This is great Choochi, I love it! <3
I can refer to this a lot since I am both a Christian and a teenager, as I'm sure many BC members are also

For me, the Parents and Salvation sections are most important to me, to remind us of what God did for us through His Son, and to respect authority c:

Wow, this is amazing! It totally is uplifting and helpful for those struggling. Although, people are allowed to drink wine but not get drunk, that's my only thing. Jesus and the disciples had wine for the passover. Also, be sure to include Ephesians 2:8 and Titus 3:5 with the salvation part. Those are hard hitters. I'll type them here now c:
Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that is not of yourselves. It is a gift of God, lest anyone should boast."
Titus 3:5 "Not by works of righteousness that we have done, but according to his great mercy, he saved us."
(in other words, we can't save ourselves. It is by him alone that we can be saved)
Thanks again for the lovely topic
