True, true. And such must be done. Certainly should be done.
However, it's a rare parent who can engender such and/or a rare teen that will be that attracted and excited about Biblical truths in their 'raw' Biblical form. Many more would internalize them a lot easier if 'translated' into more teen friendly . . . metaphors, stories, images etc.

Okay, Psalms 101:5 -- Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure. in teen-friendly form:
Yo, man. If you talk smack 'bout ya neighbor in the 'hood, God gonna snuff you. You got 'da big head? You dead. Think ya bad stuff, He done had enough!
