True Repentance
0 Teen Talk
Imagine someone came up and smacked you in the face. They apologized to you and you truly forgave them. Then the next time you saw them, that person came back and smacked you in the face again. Even though they say sorry, you know by now that they don't really mean it.
Acts 20:26 ~ First to those in Damascus, then those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God, and prove their repentance by their deeds.
Even though we ask forgiveness from God, there are some people who don't truly mean it. Some people repent, and go back doing the same thing that they asked forgiveness for. So we go to God and say we're sorry, but then the next day, we smack God in the face by doing the same thing we wanted forgiveness for. God knows if we are really saying sorry and if we aren't and he won't forgive us. No matter how much we cry, or cry out to God, we won't be forgiven unless we truly mean it.

3 Ways to Tune Out Your Parents
0 Teen Talk
1. Do what they ask you to do - If you do your chores, get good grades, assist them if they need help, they will never bother you for anything. You've already done everything they've asked, so the only way they would bother you, is if they're going to reward you.
2. Don't get attitudes - If you get upset with your parents give them a great fake smile, and walk away. If you get an attitude with them, they will only bother you even more. This will make you more upset, and cause unnecessary trouble. (trust me i know ☺)

3. Don't play the silent game - This doesn't work. Our parents won't care. Think about it... if we aren't asking them for stuff and aggravating them, that will only make them happier. This is a plan that will always backfire.
