They're hungry to make a difference. They're willing to take a stand for whatever they believe, even to die for a cause. When they sell out to Jesus, they'll pursue a standard of righteousness that is greater than anything you and I ever saw growing up. Don't water it down. Don't lower the standard. And don't just settle for raising it-raise it higher. Believe in your children. Talk with them. Speak well of them. Encourage them. Pray for them. Celebrate the victories with them. Affirm their growth. We can raise a generation that, although they'll make mistakes, will sell out completely when Jesus grips them. They'll give Him everything. They'll make you proud by being even weirder than you are.","author":"Craig Groeschel","tags":["a","affirm","although","an","and","anything","are","authentic","based","being","believe","by","can","cause","celebrate","children","completely","crave","deeply","die","difference","don-t","down","encourage","even","ever","everything","for","generation","give","god","greater","grips","growing","growth","higher","him","hungry","i","in","is","it","jesus","just","life","lower","make","mistakes","of","on","out","parents","passionate","people","pray","proud","pursue","raise","raising","righteousness","saw","sell","settle","speak","stand","standard","take","talk","than","that","the","their","them","they","they-ll","they-re","to","today","truth","up","victories","water","we","weird","weirder","well","whatever","when","will","willing","with","you","young","your"],"id":22696,"author_id":"Craig+Groeschel"},{"text":"There will always be someone better looking; better off; smarter; richer; thinner; taller; shorter; have more friends than you; a better car and a better house.You might not have what they have, but when you look in the mirror, that's you!And that's something that they don't have and will never have!","author":"Anthony T.

So many people believe in God, but they don't really know Him. And because they don't really know Him, they are lukewarm. The truth is, if you truly knew Him, you couldn't be lukewarm or halfhearted.

He writes the most beautiful and compassionate descriptions of his patients and the human dramas they confront. In his book Letters to a Young Doctor, he said that most young people seem to be protected for a time by an imaginary membrane that shields them from horror. They walk in it every day but are hardly aware of its presence. As the immune system protects the human body from the unseen threat of harmful bacteria, so this mythical membrane guards them from life-threatening situations. Not every young person has this protection, of course, because children do die of cancer, congenital heart problems, and other disorders. But most of them are shielded—and don’t realize it. Then, as years roll by, one day it happens. Without warning, the membrane tears, and horror seeps into a person’s life or into the life of a loved one. It is at this moment that an unexpected theological crisis presents itself.","author":"James C.
