Okay... im a 15 yr old girl and i just got back from a baptist youth camp in Denton Texas today and it was by far the greatest one I've ever been to... my feelings toward God are overflowing and i love this feeling i have... but im wondering... with the world how it is today, how can i stay like this... how can i stay totally committed to God, and Quiet Times, and not so much to MTV and other things that will bring me down? and where can i get these positive things and keep them coming? what shows are good? i just want to feel as moved as i am now and really make a permanent difference in my life...
PS- i go to church every sunday and wednesday but thats not enough...

thank you and God Bless!
 
Suggest skipping the tv set and the computer. God wants us to love Him first and most, and love others for Him. Love is very important. Also, peace, faith, and meekness are important. Reading the Bible more is good.
 
Turn off your television. Learn what Christ taught and try to apply it to how you live your life. The Sermon on the Mount is an excellent beginning for his teachings. That's how you make a permanent difference in your life.
 
Why don't you try doing some good. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, donate your allowance money, help at an animal shelter. I don't know, actually do something. I am not trying to be rude but why is it that people believe all they have to do is go to church, give the church money and that's it?
 
You can't expect to have happy feelings all the time. Don't base your spiritual condition on your feelings. When you can be victorious in the middle of trials and temptations then you will be overcome by true joy.
So when you are going through trials, and sad times, ask God to give you peace and joy despite the trials, not just take you out of it.
Stay away from TV period. Try to get some christian DVD's from netflix or something. TV is just the enemy.
 
Your motivation to please God is highly commendable! Did you know the time period we live in was foretold in the Bible? Look up 1 Timothy 3:1-5. Yes, we must do our best to make it through this time so that we can look forward to when God's Kingdom will do away with these problems. War, civil strife, crime, violence, and hunger are a few of the things that plague humanity today and cause millions to live in fear and dread. Have any of these affected you? Then note what God promises:

“Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more . . . The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.”—Psalm 37:10, 11.
“My people must dwell in a peaceful abiding place and in residences of full confidence and in undisturbed resting-places.”—Isaiah 32:18.
“[Jehovah] is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth. The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces; the wagons he burns in the fire.”—Psalm 46:9.
“They will actually sit, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one making them tremble.”—Micah 4:4.
“There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; on the top of the mountains there will be an overflow.”—Psalm 72:16.
“As for the one listening to me, he will reside in security and be undisturbed from dread of calamity.”—Proverbs 1:33.

Even if we are in a place where living conditions are relatively pleasant, we all face the prospect of sickness and death. These too will be gone in God’s new world. We can therefore look forward to seeing again our loved ones who have died. Note the following:

“No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”—Isaiah 33:24.
“[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”—Revelation 21:4.
“As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing.”—1 Corinthians 15:26.
“The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear [Jesus’] voice and come out.”—John 5:28, 29.

I hope these scriptures will help you. All the best.
