I was surprised to read the above statistics in Lifeway's Parenting Teens magazine this month. Maybe today's teenagers are better educated about certain dangers that hazardously effected the generations before them. Maybe today's teenagers are being enticed by a new set of dangers and just don't have as much time for the old ones. I'm glad the above categories seem to be showing improvement, but I also recognize that there is much more improvement needed. Education, awareness, advertising campaigns, public safety announcements, and even legislation are all helpful with these things, but I hope you'll join me in praying that teenagers will see the temporary and eternal benefits of truly following Jesus Christ.
