An alarming yet unsurprising survey finds that many, many teens admit to cheating, stealing, and lying often. Furthermore, 26% admit that they lied about cheating, stealing, and lying! (Makes me wonder how many are lying about their lying about cheating, stealing, and lying...)

The real alarming statistic is that 93% are satisfied with their own character, and 77% proclaim themselves above average (a statistical impossibility).

God explained this would be so passages such as Proverbs 20:6, Proverbs 30:12, and Luke 16:15. O, how many sinners think themselves righteous!

Teens need to be shown the law more than ever! God is working through Christians to show these teens that he is not satisfied with their character; in fact, because they have broken his law over and over and over again, they are storing up wrath for themselves.

Only Christ can cancel our sin and remove guilt due to our lying, cheating, and stealing. Teens, pray that God would show you your sin and your sinful character, and then run to him in repentance!
