Hot heads and cold hearts never solved anything.
Far too many young people today have no spiritual roots. The've been deprived of values by an agnostic, contemporary culture.
Only those who want everything done for them are bored.
God does not discipline us to subdue us, but to condition us for a life of usefulness and blessedness.
God can use the fear that grips the hearts of men today to point them to eternal truths- the truth of God's eternal judgment, and the truth of His eternal love.

Then it will be too late. Come to Christ while there is still time. Christ, God's greater Ark, stands ready to welcome you to safety today.
God measures people by the small dimensions of humility and not by the bigness of their achievements or the size of their capabilities.
It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and my job to love.
Christ alone can bring lasting peace - peace with God - peace among men and nations - and peace within our hearts.
Take your eyes and your ears and your hands and your feet and your thoughts and your heart: Give them completely to Christ
The family should be a closely knit group. The home should be a self-contained shelter of security; a kind of school where life's basic lessons are taught; and a kind of church where God is honored; a place where wholesome recreation and simple pleasures are enjoyed.
Remember: He WANTS your fellowship, and He has done everything possible to make it a reality. He has forgiven your sins, at the cost of His own dear Son. He has given you His Word, and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship.
"Salvation is always "good news." It is news of God's love and forgiveness-adoption into His family- fellowship with His people-freedom from the penalty of sin- liberation from the power of sin."
