 Baptism is a public expression of faith, but if you will also join the Seventh-day Adventist Church it is not enough to just warm a pew. If you are committed to being a member of the church, you need to support the church with your resources - time, money and influence. What can you do to advance the mission of the church each day?

 ==Profanity== <!--T:60-->
-Profanity is the use of curse words or "dirty" words.  In {{Bible link|Mark 14:71}}, Peter used profanity when he was trying to prove that he was not associated with Jesus.  He was correct in his assumption that the use of such language is incompatible with the nature of Christ, and he greatly regretted having done so.

-Not only will we avoid the use of profanity ourselves, but we will not willingly put ourselves in a position in which we know we would likely be exposed to it.  This means we will be careful about the music we listen to, the programs we watch on TV, and the entertainment we seek on the Internet.  We will also excuse ourselves when our friends begin using such language.

-The World Wide Web (the portion of the Internet available as hypertext - which is most of the Internet these days) is one of the most powerful tools ever developed by mankind.  It allows people to stay in touch with one another, meet new people with common interests, learn new subjects and deepen our understanding of things we already know.  But for all of the good things it can be used for, it can just as easily be used for bad things.

-If you choose to discuss this subject with your Rangers, it would be a good idea to talk about these diseases in detail, noting that many of them are not curable, and some of them can be fatal.  However, most kids have a tendency to believe (on an emotional level) that they are immortal - that is, they believe that "it couldn't happen to me."  Therefore, a disease being possibly fatal (HIV) may not be as effective a curb as a disease that disfigures one's appearance (Herpes).
