Read 1 Timothy 4:12 Can there be a better way to start off a webpage for youth than with one of the most powerful scripture passages for youth??? I think not! :) Paul was writing Timothy (who was most likely a teen!), encouraging him to do TWO main things: 1. To not let anyone (the old folk) look down on him because he was young, and
2. To be an example to all those around him by the way he talked, the way he lived, the way he loved, what he believed,
and the way he lived morally.

So does it sound like a piece of cake to do? Or does it sound impossible or crazy? Personally, I know that when I was in high school, I thought that this was nothing but wishful thinking. Because how was I supposed to get the grown-ups to look up to me??? It wasn't recently until it hit me--Part 1 of the verse happens BY LIVING OUT THE SECOND PART OF THE VERSE! By setting and example in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity. So let me encourage you to be that example that Paul calls us to be! You can do it! Peace...
