What Trigger This?

Has anyone watched yesterday's news? If you haven't, well allow us  to   share something with you? Three young boys of the age of 16 were arrested for raping a 33 year old woman. :-(  Now, I'm not here to judge; because the bible says this ...

Matthew 7:1 (NCV) - “Don’t judge others, or you will be judged.

However, as my GEM & I sat down to discuss(not judge) what we saw on the news, it left us with a perplexed sense. Because we meticulous shared with each other the following:

1. What motivated these 3 teens to commit such a violent act?
2. Did the parents, teachers or friends of these 3 boys notice a change in their behavior before this occurred?
3. Finally, were these young men raped in the past or were they experience "SERIOUS" peer pressure from the 2 other boys?

I felt the need to share this with "ALL" of you; on account of as Pastors we've met so many youths that are baffled about life and as a result, they tend to make neediness mistakes. That being said, we'd like to conclude with this ...

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (ESV) - Pray without ceasing,

That's what we're going to continue to do for today's teens! Care to join us?

#Blessings,
