Question of the Day.. Is Dating a Sin?
This is something I think every good christian kid has covered somewhere in their own lifetime. With my influences of my parents, grandparents, youth pastor and youth leaders ( yes, even you! ;D) I've got what I consider to be the best answer.
When you're dating, ask yourself, " why"? For marriage, fun, just because everyone else is are pretty common answers. ( If you're younger than 18, I doubt it's the first.)
Over the past few months I've talked to many people about dating. My friend, who I'll call Natalie, used to date secretly because her Muslim parents didn't approve. Now she's single and she tells me it was the biggest waste of her time. It tore down family relationships and trust, and time she could've spent learning English was spent going on secret dates with guys she doesn't even speak with now.
It pretty much boils down to this: Dating is meant to look for the One that you will marry and spend your life with together. If you're not dating for that reason and that reason alone ( be honest, guys! ), dating is not for you right now. --Ashley

Love Like Jesus Did. :D Isn't that awesome?
The sad part is , we rarely do. And I think as the Youth, as the next generation, we could flip this world's "Might Makes Right" thinking to something INCREDIBLE.
Take the homosexual. The Abortionists. Drug Addicts. The Pro-abortionists.
If we loved them, I mean in Jesus' way, that could change a LOT. Does that mean by loving them, we say, "Oh, everything you're doing is fine if that's what you want to do" ? No. As a Christian, I believe gay marriage is wrong, and abortion is taking someone's life. But love is powerful. TRUE love, the love that powers martyrs, the love that powered disciples to the end of their life on earth.
My challenge to you? GO outside, do something that is hard for you that demonstrates Jesus' crazy love. Apologize to a friend, sibling, take the extra step and do something that helps some one you might not really like.

A girl named Bully
The girl walks up to me. She does not look in my eye, but ever so casually she has blocked the classroom door.
" Excuse me", I say.
She ignores me.
" Girls, get out or go in", I tell them, but they know I mean HER. My knees are shaking.
Her friends, once mine too, look nervously at me. " Hey, M, she's trying to get in."
One of them tugs at her. " Hey, can't you see she's trying to get in?"
" Oh, oops." Casually she slides out of the way. " Sorry!"
I look at her and sigh, storming in the classroom. This has gone on for weeks. Rumors about me have been flying, and they have been ruining friendships left and right. M knows that, and she exults with her circle of friends privately.
The part that hurts the most? Those girls were my friends. S, A, L, T, LR, B used to say hi when they saw me, used to hang out during recess with me.
After M decided she hated me and my twin sister, AD, that all changed.
The part I never told anyone? It hurt so much. The Isolation stung, and it still does with school out. When I saw S at the park with M, they walked right by without a glance.
Then, I cried. I wondered why GOD had put me in this class, why M hated me.
But I realized something.
Through this experience, I had compassion for the bullied. I knew how they felt, and I knew no one deserved to go through that.
This moral? There are always bullies out there. In school, work....everywhere.
But remember: you are always better than the bully.
