be guarded! be anchored!

Jon blog about the article in ST, 16/7/2005, about this man who was Taoist then converted to Christianity, but now he's a Buddhist.

in the article, he said he was very passionate in his youth, but he couldnt get an answer why would a good God allow suffering in this world.
he even preached about Christ in his teens....

this is not an unusual story...

why do i say that???

cos i know of many stories and even ppl who were once so "on fire" in their teens, but their faith was not anchored and they were swept away by the different waves of their lives...

but.. there'll also be those you've never have thought would be Christian, became transformed...

pray for those you know have backslidden, or even thos who've renounced God

for this man.. pray for him too...

and i'm sure some of us now as teens who are very much on fire, very passionate about Christ, there will be a VERY HUGE possibility that some of us WILL fall away in years to come.... in the years where different transistions of our lives will make us check our faith...

and do not be surprised if those that you see now are very much teens of Christ... what may seem as very inspiring, that fellow teens are so in Christ, that in years to come, they are the very ones who fall away and renounce this faith...
it might be you, it might even be me...

" don't know about tomorrow.....
.

.
But i know Who holdsmy hand..."


so... be anchored in the Word right now in your youth...
start a right relationship with Him...
before the storms of life sweep YOU away...


1 Timothy 4:1-5(NIV)
1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith
and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2Such teachings come
through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot
iron. 3They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods,
which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who
know the truth. 4For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be
rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5because it is consecrated by the
word of God and prayer.


be guarded!
be anchored!
