Since coming back from the Dare to Share convention with my youth I would love to share some Christian qoutes that help explore thoughts that I think may be on minds of youth;

Once sin is allowed to settle in your heart, it will not be turned out at your bidding. Custom becomes second nature, and its chains are not easily broken.

ReplyDeleteI like the one from Jesse Davidson best. Sort of puts a lot into perspective.
Wow, powerful stuff! A good reminder why we need to be diligent about teaching and training our children.
