Christian Boarding Schools Troubled Boys and Girls
The philosophy of live for today is prevelent with our teenagers. Everything is about "right now" and "who cares" about the future consequences of their own actions. This is especially true of troubled teens whose parents are seeking positive, reliable boarding schools to handle the results of this faulty philosophy of their teens, as opposed to more stringent military boarding schools or boot camps.
 Some of the means these teens use to live in the moment versus living for the future are mixed up in illegal drugs, beer, wine and hard liquor, satanic music and of course sexual relations. They ruin their future lives for a few moments or few years of cavalier life. This is a terrible price to pay for such little and short return. So much to give up, ones entire life, for so little and so unpleasant a reward.
The mentality of the world teaches our children that they can be anything they want to be (self-realization). It is a big lie. For example, not everyone is destined to play in the NFL or NBA. Not every child is meant to be a rap star, or a model. To teach a child that they can attain anything through hard work, despite many realities to the contrary is to mislead them. Destiny is not about working hard and making all the right moves, rather true destiny is something that we are born to accomplish. Our destiny is in Christ.
".. "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.." Matthew 10
Our teenage children were not destined to be obtuse or rebellious, to abuse drugs, or to react against their parents and authority. The main reason our teens are missing their calling or destiny is because there is an enemy, and the Bible names him... Satan. The enemy is out to take down our children. Satans purpose is to keep our youth from finding their true calling, which is to do good by God and his will for an honest life.
