You can’t throw stones at a fire
Friday, March 17th, 2006
It’s been said that this generation is like a person trapped in a burning car. To rescue them requires that we be proactive instead of reactive. While there might not be visible smoke from a battle for the hearts and minds of the youth, the reality of the situation is apparent.
“We’re not going to let the world love them more than we love them. Whoever loves them the most, wins them.” - Ron Luce
This generation of young people are being courted by the ‘merchants of cool‘. ‘The merchants’ may claim that their intentions are good, but deception is what it is - and the consequences are unmerciful. It’s getting darker and it’s hard to see…but the truth will shed light on whether they are deceived as well as those that buy into what they’re selling. Let’s seek truth, and as we find it, let’s shine so others may see.
Ron Luce, founder of Teen Mania and author of the new book ‘Battle Cry for a Generation’, was on the Family Life Today broadcast this week.

We’ve got nothing to prove
Tuesday, March 14th, 2006Ken Davis was on Focus on the Family today and yesterday reminding us that if we want to live life to the fullest - we should live with nothing to prove. Therefore, we don’t have to be good enough to earn God’s blessings. We don’t have to prove our worth by trying to impress. Instead, we go forward trusting, believing, and accepting what Jesus offers.
