DON'T TAKE DECISIONS THAT WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT YOUR FUTURE...Presby Moderator advises the youth (PAGE 22)

THE MODERATOR of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG), Rt Revd Dr Frimpong-Manso has advised the youth to be cautious of any decision they take since the slightest mistake will negatively affect their future.
Rt Revd Frimpong-Manso gave the advice when he addressed the third national delegates assembly of the Young Adults’ Fellowship of the PCG held at the Akyem Oda Senior High School over the weekend.
The event under the theme: “Put on the Armour of God”, brought together young adults from all the congregations of the PCG to brainstorm on matters affecting the fellowship and inculcate the proverbial Presbyterian discipline in them.
According to Rt Revd Frempong-Manso, the youthful stage in life, especially that of young adults, was full of challenges and temptations because they had to make choices and decisions out of numerous voices, doctrines and marriage partners.
Basing his sermon on Genesis Chapter 3, he said that in taking a decision, young adults had to be careful since the slightest mistake would negatively affect their future.
“There are many voices calling to attract your attention as young adults but not every voice or fashion whether in theology or ethics comes from God and you must beware of the tricks of the devil”, Rt Revd Frimpong-Manso stressed.
The moderator further stated that the church was fighting a spiritual war with satan and a host of unseen angelic and celestial enemies, as such, christians, especially young adults should fortify themselves spiritually as good soldiers to face the unseen evil spirits.
Rt Revd Frimpong-Manso asked members of the fellowship to provide sound leadership and guidance to those in the Young People’s Guild and Junior Youth of the PCG.
He said they could only do that if they eschewed negative tendencies such as Internet fraud (sakawa) and immorality, which might also lead to the contraction of HIV AIDS.
The Birim Central Municipal Coordinating Director, Mr Okoffo-Boadi Boampong who spoke on behalf of the Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, also dwelt extensively on social evils in society and called on the church to help find solutions to them.
