The society we live for

We often find that life is best lived to the fullest. What happens when you live it the half way?

We're always determined to out-live one another. Does it really make a difference?

The kids even brag about living better than the poorer kids.

It's all about how much money you got, how many people know you and How much street cred you got.

What about who cared for the neighborhood or even who prevented the teens from getting into trouble.

Nobody remembers that these days.

Everybody cares about themselves and that’s why our young men are either 6 feet under or incarcerated.

These boys walk around with their underwear showing and nobody tells them to pull their pants up.

Our young ladies are becoming more and more vulnerable each day.

Maybe because their mothers were young mothers and had no idea how to raise a child.

These girls and boys need the guidance and the strength to walk by faith and not by sight.

The religious ways in the households have gone astray in our society.

We no longer pray at night, in the morning or at dinner.

The average adolescent doesn't even talk about the goodness of Jesus.

Our mindsets are all wrong.

We need to walk with Jesus again. Question is...

Are you ready to walk with him?
