The "Me" Generation

Today I had to write an essay for the PSSA testing. The prompt was to state my opinion on having community service as a requirement for students to graduate. As I got to writing {which I love to do} I got to thinking. Our generation is a "me" generation.. in other words: our generation (MY generation) has no respect, no responsibilities and hardly an ounce of compassion. What ever happened to some of the Golden Rules? "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" or "Treat others like you would like to be treated." This younger generation is into nothing but computers, cellphones, fashion and they pretty much think about themselves. Now don't get me wrong; I'm not saying that EVERYONE in this generation is like this, however, the majority of this generation is.
The next few blogs//notes//whatever else you want to call them, will be on the "me" generation. Don't you just love that phrase? Maybe I'll write a book on that... someday. But anyhow, like I said, I'm in a writing mood so watch out. I'm going to give everyone a little insight on what the whole "me" generation is and how we, as Christians, can defeat it! But first, we need to get ourselves right with God before we go and fight other battles. We need to fight our battles--the battles of self, the flesh and (most importantly) the mind.

Galations 5:17 says "For the flesh has desires that are opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires that are opposed to the flesh, for these are in opposition to each other, so that you cannot do what you want."
We need to get our flesh and mind under subjection to the Spirit so God can move in and through us. So that's what we are going to do. And the first subject we are going to talk about is love.

Thanks for reading this guys.. I really appreciate it. I'm going to try to write as often as I can. Maybe (someday) I'll actually write a book.. after I get my degree in psychology of course ;) However, that can't stop me from actually writing now.. so I'll be on later to write about love and how to have unconditional love for others--as Jesus did. But until then, may God's blessing pour out on you!
