Thought 364
1 Corinthians 13:11
“When I
was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child:
but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” 1 Corinthians 13:11 KJV
The Apostle Paul testifies to the fact that when
he became man, that he left childhood behind. There was no teenage years of
“weirdness” that were considered a stage in his life. Young men and women should
be learning new things and maturing just like adults. However, the modern perception
of a “teenage” stage has reared up a false idea in our society. The term teenager and its definition were created
under 100 years ago. We need to treat young men and women as what they are—young men and young women. They should be given responsibilities and be expected
to mature beyond the current normal. The point, is since the Bible teaches the
opposite of the “teenage” years then why should we uphold the idea?
