Our Battle

We see this world crumbling, changing befor our eyes, and so sinfull. So many of us what to change it but very little has happened. Are some of us just afraid to put our foot through the dore? Do we think it's to big of a job to change world? Are we afraid? What is holding us back? Many people don't know that just in our American country....

-1 in every 4 teens use drugs that are ilegal.

- 8,000 contract an STD every day. That's 6 in the next minute.

-1 million teenage girls are pregnant right now in America.

-340,000 teens get an abotion every year.

-1 in 10 have been raped.

-40% have infliced self injury.

-1 in 5 have contemplated suicide.

-Over 1,500 teens kill themselves every year.

-Suicide is the third leading cause of death amoung people ages 15-24 in America.

-9 out of 10 have seen porn online.

-7 out 10 men are addicted to porn.

-The porn industry is bigger than NFL, NHL, NBA, and the NBL combined.

- you will see 14,00 sexual references on TV this year.

See what our world has come to. See what our generation has become and what they are doing. These are our friends, our family, and people we see and asosate with every day. We don't have to settle for this. We don't have to sit back and watch this get worse. Our world has become a sinful and horrible place....

In 1940 teachers were asked to identify problems in schools, talking out of turn, chewing gum, making noise.... In 1990 teachers were asked the same qestions. These were their ansewers, drugs and alcohal abuse, pregnacy, suicide, rape, robbery, assault.. That was 1990. It's now 18 years later. See what our world has become. We still have a chance to save our generation.

Therefore, since we are surrounded buy such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that is so easile entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. (Hebrews 12:1)

Join me inthe battle to fight for our generation. God has a big plan for us. Let him use you. If you are afraid....... "Each of us may be sure that if God sends us over rocky paths, He will provide us with sturdy shoes. He will never send us on any journey with out equipping us well. (Alexander Maclaren) If we band together we can change the world, it would also be easier than trying to change the world just by our self. What are we waiting for?

This is part of a speech I did at my school. I used all the facts and stuff... but unfortuneatly I had to take out the God stuff. But I made my point and made it clear I was a Christian to my class mates with out even saying God one time. After my speech people came and asked me questions about it and I totaly gave God all the credit. My poster got hung up in the speech room for every one to see and a month later my speech got published in the school news paper. PRAIS GOD!!! What are we waiting for? Raise your voice and and band together! We can do it!
