Saturday, November 29, 2025Key Verse

Message
We are exposed to temptations daily and there are regular invitations to be part of the worldly and sinful lifestyle prevalent in our schools and communities. The social media is replete with stories of youths who make friends with those they meet online. We also have online forums where false doctrines, immorality and other perversions are promoted but we must be wise and avoid them. The wise will only take decisions in the light of the Scriptures and seek counsel from godly parents and leaders. They avoid secret meetings and odd activities that can destroy their Christian life.
Sometimes we are invited to gatherings where we can socialize with others to enhance our social interaction skills. However, any gatherings that could lead to smoking of cigarettes, taking of alcohol or hard drugs, should be shunned by any Christian youth who wants to make heaven at last. Christian youths are to shun every invitation to sin by anyone or through any means so as to escape hell and be with Christ.
