God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

I have a friend who was sent to plant a church in a hostile city, in a neighborhood dominated by sexual perversion. While making the rounds, introducing himself to pastors already serving in the city one pastor warned him that so many others had sought to minister to that demographic, but, the pastor reasoned, they just weren’t reachable. My friend, though he had served in the special forces, and could well be Chuck Norris’s younger brother, broke down in tears. He explained to the pastor, “If the gospel has no power to save them, it has no power to save me.”

Although you may be able to 'control' young children, the key word for teenagers is 'influence.' Here are five words that describe different ways you can influence teens. 1. Teach - provide them with new information or help them understand another facet of life. 2. Encourage - remind them of the benefits of moving in the right direction. 3. Entreat - earnestly ask them to act in a mature, responsible, and wise way. 4. Admonish - warn, caution, or advise them by anticipating possible negative consequences. 5. Persuade - use relationship, incentives, and natural consequences to motivate them to make wise choices (Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller).
