Life house did a great job with this drama! It has actually become quite popular among local youth groups. I know of at least one youth group who is using it as an evangelistic tool to win teens to Christ. Every teen can relate to this one! If they have not been there, I guarantee they know someone who has!These are the very battles that this generation is fighting. I could tell you story after story of teens who struggle in these areas. Even many Christian teens end up in bondage of these very sins. You may think why would a “Christian” do these things? Usually it is because they are more connected to their friends, schools, music, sports, and televisions than they are to their churches or to Jesus. Not that those things are always bad. It is just that the term “Christian” doesn’t have much to do with Christ anymore in a lot of youth groups.It is also ultimately a spiritual battle between good and evil.

The Bible says…For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12

We have seen satan destroy many teenagers. Like in the video the pull of satan on their lives is so strong. Some of the students that I know who have dabbled in cutting, eating disorders, drugs, alcohol, sex; one sin just led to another to the point that they were no longer interested in anything that had to do with God. This last week, one student we have been ministering to was sent to a mental institution for threatening to shoot up his high school. In another instance, some girls we know from a local middle school were sent to the hospital after overdosing on methodone during school. Teen pregnancy is almost an accepted norm in high schools. One local high school has over 20 moms and expecting moms this year. Immoral relationships are everywhere among junior high and high school students. (Christian or non-Christian) You can’t walk through the public schools without seeing girls and boys all over each other in the hallways.

I also know of at least 5 openly gay students. One boy where’s feminine jewelry clothes and lots of makeup to school. Other students claim they are bisexual because it makes them seem wild, unique, or shocking. I have sat down at lunch time to visit with kids who were in the middle of reading books about witchcraft, vampires, and curses. One girl, a preacher’s daughter, all of the sudden started dressing gothic, dying her hair black and dressing in all black. When I ask her why she was doing that she said she was “experimenting with her identitiy”. I tried to explain to her as a Christian her identity is IN CHRIST. She has been bought with a price and is supposed to be a child of God. But she told me she “liked the way it shocked people” and “it made her heel like she had power over them”. This was a girl raised her whole life in church.

Lord help us reach these students with the Gospel and bring them the TRUTH and hope of Jesus Christ, before it is too late for them!!!
