Gambling worries and energy drinks in teen culture
A counseling expert warns denial can shield a gambling addict and urges direct conversation, limits, and third party help. A Focus on the Family segment cautions teens drink energy drinks for a false energy boost, noting caffeine risks, dehydration, and health concerns.
Will God Look for Scars or Medals in Faith
A reflective column quotes scripture on suffering for Christ and contrasts the value of medals and diplomas with scars earned through discipleship. It notes Paul and early apostles endured beatings and execution, arguing salvation is free but discipleship costly, and asks readers to consider scars as proof of faith. Includes local church listings and contact info.
