Being a teenager in this sophisticated world we live in today is not an easy task. It comes with its own responsibilities. You face constant peer pressure and it is hard to know where to turn for advice. It is more challenging to be a Christian teenager, though it is an accepted principle that life has its ups and downs; it is a tough game to play. The youth of Praise Chapel International Church have confidence that we can live a good Christian life and still have fun and enjoy our teen years.

And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade.” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” (ESV) closeJohn 2:15-17closeJohn 2:15-17 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen.

If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides forever”.

We are not blindfolded by the pleasures of this world! The problem we have in our society today is that the line between right and wrong has faded away, thereby making any action acceptable. As a result, our leaders do not always know how to teach us how to get through life’s many challenges. Most of the time, we end up having to figure it all out by ourselves. The good news is that the Bible provides the answers we need. Proverbs 22:6closeProverbs 22:6 6 Train up a child in the way he should go;
