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).

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”

The word “transformed” in 2 Corinthians 3:18 is from the Greek verb “metamorphoo.” It is where we derive our English word, “metamorphosis.” When I think of a metamorphosis, I think of a butterfly. Before Christ, you lived for self. You were a slave to sin and Satan and your spiritual state in the eyes of God was like an ugly caterpillar. But due to Christ’s work on the cross, you are now a beautiful butterfly in His eyes. And while that is your nature positionally before Him, you have the ability with Him to be transformed practically to be more like Him too. As God is the epitome of moral beauty, His children should (should I say “will”) be growing into that beauty as we behold our God and undergo an ongoing beautiful metamorphosis by the power of the Holy Spirit. Practically speaking, all Christians are moving from an ugly caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly as they mature in their faith.
