Making a Choice (MAC) Touching Youth and Teenagers:
Our youth of today are confronted with much peer pressure, causing them to give and make many quick and thoughtless answers and choices. Many of these choices are left for them to make without any prior information given, or guidance that would help them make wiser choices. Then in some cases, information was given, but in how to apply it to their lives became hard and unusable.
There is a thin line between real/unreal/acceptable/unacceptable. Within MAC teachings, the youth are presented with information that will help them recognize, that some decisions will cheat them out of a whole portion of their life, bringing them into contact and undesirable relationship(s) with an age group that they will find difficult and hard to manage. Many factors make these lines harder to distinguish between. One is that society has chosen to accept and legalized many things that make it difficult for our youth and teenagers to know if it is good for them. Yet, while many things are acceptable and lawful, they are unprofitable (Scripture). MAC seeks to find out what teaching is needed for the particular communities/schools/areas that it targets.
Fear has overtaken many of our youth and teenagers. Teenagers are not aware, that the fear is being fed them by what they are watching on their TV's. Because the TV world has become so realistic, the combined action of it, and what they see on their street comers, make the scenes even more real, and brings more defeat into their lives. They are not able to separate the two worlds. While the decision is left entirely to them; MAC will teach and share with them a more perfect choice.
Family Interventions:
Mothers and fathers, whether they are single parents or together as a family unit, the same fear is surrounding them with the thought, that their child will in some way be deceived into following lawless actions. With pornography, HIV and Aids and the availability of literature to our youth, we must be even more aggressive with an urgency to teach on its obstructionist’s habits. MAC teaches that even with drugs, pornography, alcohol, and sexual opportunities so available it still ends with a choice. MAC presents choices that will help them to make wiser choices. However, many things are lawful but are not profitable to an individual. MAC desires to place the greater emphasis on making the better choice.
