Is there anything important left for young people to do?

I

CARSON WRITES: It often seems to me that everything that can be discovered, developed, or invented is already discovered, developed, or invented. And then if there is something to be done, you don’t realize it until someone else does it. What can we do about such a dilemma? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

Where should guys and girls draw the line on physical contact?

W

AMANDA WRITES: I’ve heard many different viewpoints about how much physical contact is too much before marriage. I’ve seen some people saying that girls should never hug guys, and some people say we shouldn’t touch them at all. I’ve decided not to kiss a guy till my wedding day, but what about other things? Hugs? Holding hands? Is there a specific place we should stop...

When is it okay to compare yourself to others?

Should scholarships be the deciding factor in choosing a college?

S

HALEY WRITES: Lately, I’ve heard my friends, when asked what college they’re going to choose, say something along the lines of, “whoever gives me the most money.” The expectation is that you should choose 5 or 6 colleges you would be okay going to and then whoever gives you the most scholarship is the one you go to. But could God be calling us to a certain place, even if...

Should Christian teens play violent video games?

S

SETH WRITES: Should we as Christians play video games that are deemed violent (e.g., Call of Duty, Halo, Battlefield, etc.)? Should we even spend our time on video games at all? Video games aren’t reality, I know, and may or may not affect our real-life decisions, but they are a significant and demanding part of our society today. There are so many genres in the video game industry, and...

Should Christians fund businesses that support immorality?

S

CLARE WRITES: Recently many large companies (e.g. Walmart, Target, JC Penny, Starbucks) have promoted immorality such as abortion and homosexuality. The primary forms of promotion are either commercials featuring people living such lifestyles or donating portions of the company’s capital to such organizations. Most Christians would never directly fund an abortion, but what about funding a...

How can we glorify God on a daily basis?

H

ZIPPORAH WRITES: It is easy to glorify God when working on large projects devoted to Him, but what about the days that occupy most of our week, when we are doing school work, chores, or at work? How do we glorify God in our daily lives? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently 7 Comment(s) Have something else you’d like to discuss?

How should we respond to praise?

H

AMANDA WRITES: When someone says something encouraging to me, I usually fall into one of two traps: 1) Idolizing the person and thinking they are absolutely beyond amazing just because they said this one thing to me, or 2) Falling into complacency, thinking, “If so-and-so thinks that highly of me, then I’m doing pretty good — no need to worry about improving or changing anything...

Why should we try to change the world? Is there any point?

W

HEATHER WRITES: Someone asked me “Why bother changing the world? After all, we know it’s all going to get worse towards end times and God’s will will be done anyway.” She was referring in particular to making political changes (e.g. ending abortion). I still believe it’s worth changing the world, but how would you explain clearly exactly why? Share Your Thoughts in...

What’s the difference between working hard and being obsessed?

W

HANNAH WRITES: When it comes to school, sports, or really anything, I’ve always been told to do my best — to work hard. I’m not in any way saying that’s wrong. We should work hard! But when does that thing that your working towards become an obsession? When do you cross the line from hard-working into idolatry? In school, especially I’m constantly working for better grades and doing better, but...
