Principle vs Specifics

Well, I have a ton to write about and I have really not had the time to be here as much as I would have liked...I am trying to get my MySpace page going.  It is an amazingly inefficient format.  But, I will make due.  So I had a question roaming the dark depths of my mind this week pertaining to the subject matter that I talk about to my Youth Group and our Young Adult Discussion Group.  I have to this point, tried to focus on principles of Christian living.  Not just that but Christianity itself.  I felt that if the students could grasp a Biblical principle, then as the need arises, they could apply it to their situation.  Yet, I hear things that direct me to speak to more specific issues like drugs, or profanity and other such symptoms of a sinful heart.  I just struggle with the benefit of such discussions to the group as a whole.  What does everyone think about whether to focus on principles or get more specific?   Several of you are pastors so it would be awesome to find out what you do and what you think are the benefits of each.  Thanks for reading and especially for commenting. I would encourage all who come here to make a comment, for surely you have an opinion or insight.  Thanks! Nyk
