DISCUSSION: In the days of thy youth<\/strong> . . . [ discussion of this sermon on youth ]<\/h2>\n

I.   Learn what it means to be principled.<\/p>\n

1. Being principled means that you decide to do what is right for the mere fact that it is right.<\/p>\n

2. It means not being influenced to do the wrong thing based upon emotions.<\/p>\n

1) It is important to learn how to make non-emotional decisions.<\/p>\n

2) So many in our society today make decisions based upon emotion.<\/p>\n

3) “If it feels good then do it” is their philosophy.<\/p>\n

4) “Drink, smoke, do drugs, fornicate, lie, cheat, steal — as long as you don’t get caught!”<\/p>\n

5) Many do these things because it makes them feels good.<\/p>\n

6) Hebrews 11:25 teaches us that Moses was a principled man.<\/p>\n

3. It means not being influenced to do the wrong thing because of friends.<\/p>\n

1) We all need and want friends.<\/p>\n

2) We want to be accepted by our friends.<\/p>\n

3) Friends can be a good influence on our life.<\/p>\n

4) But friends can also influence us for the wrong.<\/p>\n

5) It is important that we influence our friends for good, but not allow them to influence us for evil.<\/p>\n

6) 1 Corinthians 15:33 in ASV “Be not deceived, evil companionships corrupt good morals.”<\/p>\n

4. It means not being influenced to do the wrong thing because of one’s environment.<\/p>\n

1) There are all kinds of troubles in the world.<\/p>\n

2) Each one of you will experience your share of suffering, pain, and difficulties.<\/p>\n

3) It is quite tempting to let the storms of life sweep you away from your moorings.<\/p>\n

4) Losing faith or giving in to some temptation to do wrong won’t solve any of these problems.<\/p>\n

5) It is only resolute endurance, steadfastness, patience, and longsuffering that will see you through.<\/p>\n

6) Consider the example of Job.<\/p>\n

7) James 5:10-11 “Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord. Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.”<\/p>\n

II.  Listen to your parents and grandparents.<\/p>\n

1. They know where you’ve been.<\/p>\n

1) It is thrilling to be young and alive; to have energy and want to go places and do things.<\/p>\n

2) One wants to experience all of the riches of life; take in all of the experiences; see the sights.<\/p>\n

3) Your parents know this feeling; they were once your age; they know what you are thinking right now.<\/p>\n

4) There is not a desire that you have that they didn’t have.<\/p>\n

5) This is a hard concept to understand until you have experienced it.<\/p>\n

6) There is a reason why your parents may tell you “no” or limit your activities and experiences.<\/p>\n

7) Colossians 3:20 “Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.”<\/p>\n

2. They know the consequences of poor choices.<\/p>\n

1) It is very important to consider the consequences of our choices.<\/p>\n

2) It’s not easy to know the consequences of our choices if we’ve never made that choice.<\/p>\n

3) God gives us parents, in part, so that they can tell us what will happen as a result of our choices.<\/p>\n

4) Perhaps your parents have made some poor choices.<\/p>\n

5) I don’t know of anyone who hasn’t.<\/p>\n

6) Consider Proverbs 3:1-4 “My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.”<\/p>\n

3. They have wisdom that comes from experience and observation.<\/p>\n

1) Parents and grandparents have experienced and seen more life and people than have you.<\/p>\n

2) As you grow older, you learn how other people think and react to life.<\/p>\n

3) Consider Proverbs 6:20-23 “My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.”<\/p>\n

4. Finally, in this sermon on youth…<\/p>\n

III. (In the days of thy youth…) Treasure the moments that you have.<\/p>\n

1. You can’t go back.<\/p>\n

1) There are certain points in life where you step over a threshold that you won’t cross again.<\/p>\n

2) Getting your first job. Getting married. Having children.<\/p>\n

3) And even the passing years move your life onward to a point where you will never return.<\/p>\n

4) Friends you now know will move away; brothers and sisters will grow up and move out.<\/p>\n

5) You will never quite be able to recapture the experiences of your youth.<\/p>\n

6) James 4:14 “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”<\/p>\n

2. Don’t wish your life away.<\/p>\n

1) When I was in school, my friends and I would always say, “I wish this” and “I wish that.”<\/p>\n

2) I had a teacher who used to tell us, “Don’t wish your life away.”<\/p>\n

3) There is something to be said about treasuring the moment you have right now.<\/p>\n

4) Philippians 4:11 “I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content.”<\/p>\n

5) Matthew 6:34 “Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”<\/p>\n

3. Make the most of your opportunities.<\/p>\n

1) It is said that opportunity only knocks once.<\/p>\n

2) Sometimes it is hard to see opportunities.<\/p>\n

3) Some opportunities are inconsequential; others, however, only come once in a lifetime.<\/p>\n

4) Turning down a good opportunity will result in regret and there will be some.<\/p>\n

5) Perhaps most importantly are the opportunities we have to do what is right.<\/p>\n

6) Galatians 6:10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”<\/p>\n

7) You will never regret having done something good for another.<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION: [ conclusion of this sermon on youth ]<\/p>\n

1) Learn what it means to be principled.<\/p>\n
