Intro

1 Timothy 4:12 NIV
12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
Judah hAD Asked me to share something on motivating
Encouraging
Well encourage Judah first
Judah is the first unmarried man doing this
It makes it much harder
he dont have an assistant really - Holy Spirit
want to encourage everyone here - leader or not to continue helping out the young people in whatever way you doing.....
we need encouragement and these youths even need more
when we look at society today - a lot of youths are being encouraged but they are being encouraged in the wrong things...
many times in church is just a beat down with young people.....only criticizing, condemning them, so they feel it dont make sense coming
They need to feel love from you.....
Need more grace
Life is hard. Then you die. Then they throw dirt in your face. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order. David Gerrold
Today I want to encourage us to be a Barnabas to those young people. Study the life of Barnabas if you want to know what I mean.
Paul’s Ministry would not have happened if it wasnt for Barnabas.
I want to encourage you all to be an example
“Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice”

In your speech

in the things you say. Young people listen to you.
they watch your posts - like wtf, these acronymns
plenty IPA youths cursing
how you gossip about people
make fun of people
Ephesians 4:29 The Message
29 Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.
Please, Please PLEASE, bring back F8.
life and death is in the power of the tongue

PREACH THE WORD

And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. Luke 2:46

Teenager, notice that Jesus wasn’t preaching to the elders in the temple. He was listening to them and asking questions of them. Let me suggest that if you want to be an example of the believer, your speech is to be based upon your listening to those who are older than you.

“But they don’t know as much as I do,” you

oNE of the best way to improve your speech is to shut up and listen
Listen to people with more expereience than you
You may innocently call a girl darling and they feel you in love with them.

  My Computers� Quote�� TullyPosts : 171Win 10- 29 Mar 2015#4
the only bible some will see is your life
All:
Let them will say you is a role model, they want to be like you
I agree with CBLEMAN!
They watch your every move
Why is it programmers like to OBFUSCATE simple things? I started with MS DOS! How did we ever get through previous windows without this crap?
Life Application Bible Commentary, 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus Paul Gives Guidelines for Teaching / 4:1–16

Our life-style as well as our specific behaviors must be consistent with the gospel. Timothy was to conduct himself as a representative of Jesus Christ even in the details of daily living (see 6:6–10). Unfortunately, when actions loudly contradict words, the truth can hardly be heard

do as I say not as I do
Philippians 1:27 NIV
27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel

be an example in your love

Philippians 1:27
They shall know we are christians by our love,
notice it didnt say our gifts - not our ability to preach,
jump and wave, shout hallelujah, lead worship,
play the guitar
is love
The young people need to know that you love them
That you care for them
sometimes it can be hard
Sometimes you just want to let them have it
Sometimes you just want to speech them off
They need to feel loved
Life Application Bible Commentary, 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus Paul Gives Guidelines for Teaching / 4:1–16

When we say the right words and live the right way but lack love, we are demonstrating a legalistic view of God’s expectations (see 1 Corinthians 13:1–7). After words and actions have had their say, love makes the message ring true or false.

- we can have all the gifts but if we lack love we are nothing
God is love
John Maxwell _ to live with saints above quote

Be an example in Your faith

Let people say that they see your faith in Jesus when they look at you
Jesus stressed a lot about having faith
It can be tempting at times to just see the walls surrounding you
but we are surrounded by God
It takes faith for us to see that
let people say this man does read the bible, this man does pray.
When he speaks God does touch me, when he prays God does answer
This man serious about his faith in God
He is a true believer indeed
let them say you living everything you say - you pointing others to the way
Share a little scripture in your facebook not just cat memes
Let your faith shine through

Be an example in Purity

This is a hard one today
in his book Finishing Strong, STEVE FARRAR tells of a famous author who was attending a lavish dinner party held in his honor. He was seated next to a very sophisticated and stylish young woman. She was stunningly beautiful and elegant. At one point during the meal, he leaned over and discreetly whispered in her ear, “Would you be willing to sleep with me tonight for $25,000?” The woman smiled coyly and silently nodded a yes. He leaned in once again and whispered to her, “How about $50?” The woman was horrified. She lost her composure and yelled at the author, “Just what do you think I am?” The author replied, “We’ve already established what you are. We are simply discussing the price?”
today we see sexual immorality on the loose
John Crist being caught
Pastors / leaders etc being caught
Pray for them
David and the UFO
This is one area where we all weak in
We made to desire sex but the bible says not to awaken love until it so desires
Purity
Many leaders liming a girl and getting them pregnant
If is leaders how much more for those under them
The temptation and the struggle is there
Every ad on tv have a half naked girl
Venez today - them husbands leaving their wives now
today a lot of christians hooking up with non christians
big temptation there
your values will be different
they will want sex and you would not
throughout the bible we see choose a wife from our own, not the caananites,

There are “hot spots” all over—places that will burn you out. Run from them and run to those who are gathering together to worship the Lord and to study His Word.

go to church on Sunday and not Secret Sunday
When it comes to counselling dont be a man and go counselling a woman alone

Conclusion

"The Bible gives us a list of human stories on both sides of the ledger. One list of human stories is used as examples – do what these people did. Another list of human stories is used as warnings - don't do what these people did. So if your story ever gets in one of these books, make sure they use it as an example, not a warning." -- Jim Rohn
Ask the holy spirit to help you be an example in your speech, conduct, love, faith and purity

Advanced Startup Options - Boot to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 ForumsHi Brink, It's good to hear from you! I feel things have been made way to complicated. Taking away F8 seriously hampers me in the field. I would like to simplify things again, and ask that F8 be brought back in Windows 10. Safe Mode is a critical tool for me, at home and at work. F8 is an uncomplicated and easy way to access that tool. What do you feel the odds are of getting it back in 10? There isn't anything I can do if it isn't brought back, and I'll just have to live with that. It would however be a disappointment to me, as well as being hampered by the removal of the functionality.

If you both like, you could disable the new advanced startup options to use the old "Windows Boot Manager" again that has the F8 option. The tutorial below is for Windows 8, but is the same for Windows 10.

Startup Options - Enable or Disable in Windows 8 oooo... Great stuff! Thanks. I still feel F8 needs to be brought back, but this is something I can really use. Thanks again Brink. Very helpful information.

Great stuff, as usual but isn't a bit early to release tutorials for W10 ? Only from the perspective that things could change until RTM, or you are certain that some things won't change ?

You're most welcome guys.
Nar, it's never to early to be releasing tutorials for Windows 10. Testers need help and info about it as well.
The fun part is having to keep them all updated after each build. LOL
