They are being raised to be on the offensive without being offensive. Both of them are very sweet and very humble, but they have been taught radical faith.

IF satan controls the media, education, entertainment etc so what??? TAKE IT BACK!!!

That's Awesome!!!

I have a couple of teens who are radical about their faith too. They've sang Christian songs "falling in love w/Jesus" "you are the love of my life" worship songs in talent shows.

My oldest wanted a t-shirt like the virgin t-shirts on this site at Christmas... I wasn't comfortable with her wearing one like that... she is very proud of the fact though and is known for her soap box messages at school on the importance of being a virgin. She didn't like my decision, so she took it up w/my brother at Christmas dinner... (he is a pastor) He agreed that he would let her wear it..she should be proud... and then I was ganged up on. Stilll, not so comfortable advertising stuff like that... my mom must be coming out in me..lol

Anyway, she is very vocal about her faith and every speech she gave in speech class somehow was used to promote her faith in some way.

I always told her if she ever got resistance from teachers or anyone, I would be the first to hit that school defending her right to moral and faith... especially in the middle of all the trash of today.
