Stand
It has been said to me many times before, that if you do not stand for something you will fall for everything. To most young people that sounds just about right, but in actuality, it’s not right at all. You can stand for that which is wrong and still fall for everything. As a young person, it’s not all about the stand we take, but what we stand for. If we stand for the Truth, which is Christ and Him Crucified, we will not fall for that which is wrong.This is where we find Daniel and his three Hebrew friends. Israel had been the most powerful Nation on the Planet, and this is what God had intended for His Children. It was during the time of the construction of the Tower of Babel (Gen., Chpt. 11), when the people of the land had only one language that they spoke. They journeyed to a place called Shinar, which was a plain located near Babylon. It was here that Satan opposed God’s People and tried to destroy them. As a quick side note, God has His Prince, Jesus Christ, and His City, Jerusalem, just as Satan has his prince, the Antichrist, and his city, Babylon. Both play a prominent role in the beginning of time, and Endtime events. It was during this time that God committed the scepter of power into her (Israel’s) hands.Bondage, Affliction and Deliverance
“And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of My People which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
“And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.”Exodus 3:7-8The Book of Exodus has got to be one of my favorite Books in the entirety of the Word of God. I thoroughly enjoy reading it, as I do the entire Word of God, but there is something special about this particular Book. To quote one writer’s perspective on the great Book of Exodus, “As the subject of Genesis is man’s ruin, so that of Exodus is man’s Redemption.” The Hebrew title for the Book is “These are the names”. This accords with the subject of the Book, for Redemption is an individual matter. The Book teaches that this Redemption can only be effected by the Blood, the Blood of the Lamb, the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.Unequally Yoked
Many young people have asked me over the years, and that question is this, “Is it okay for a young person who is a Christian to date a non-Christian?”
I personally believe that it is not okay for a Believer to date a non-Believer simply because they are unequally yoked. The Bible tells us in II Corinthians 6:14, “Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath Righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?”SIPPIN’ SAINTS
By Gabriel SwaggartQuestion: “Is it scriptural for a Believer to drink?”As a Youth Pastor, there are several questions that constantly come up, and one of them has to do with the Believer and alcohol. Many will say that it’s OK to drink alcohol, just as long as you do it in moderation. They will use the Lord’s Supper and the First Miracle of Christ to support their claim.I would like to take the same passages of Scripture to explain why it’s not OK for a Believer to drink alcohol.THE LORD’S SUPPERLet’s take a look at the Lord’s Supper. In the description of the Lord’s Supper, the word “wine” is never found in the text. We are told in every passage that relates to this topic, “He took the cup, and gave thanks” (Mat. 26:27; Mk. 14:23; Lk. 22:17; I Cor. 11:25). Jesus did use the phrase, “The fruit of the vine,” in Matthew 26:29, Mark 14:25, and Luke 22:18.
