    THE FACES BEHIND THE PHONES Everyone seems to be online nowadays,doing one thing or the other but one common thing most people are doing is chatting.Thanks to our various social networks like 2go,facebook,whatsapp,skype,twitter,Instagram e.t.c. Have you ever asked yourself  "who are the faces behind our phones?" I mean the real faces ,the real identities and the real personalities of the people we chat with even those we have known for years.

An important announcement you should all pay attention to! SEX and the CHURCH Why does the church not tell us many things as regards sex? Why does it pretend that the teenagers and youths of this generation are not more sexually active than the old generation? Why does it use cloak to cover itself over something that is very obvious? Are singles Christians now without sexual organs? 1st Corinthians 8: 11 says Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does sexual immorality is a sin against your  own b ody . Aren't our bodies a concern to You! Won't you teach us to flee? I am a born again Christian youth in your church that fell in love with a guy in the same church. It all started when from close fellowship together. He could quote long verses of the Bible without shaking. Oh, mine! This alone swept me off my feet. He asked out and I gladly accepted. We started to date. In dating, we started to kiss in our various hangouts.
