The more out-of-wedlock sex we have in our communities, the more out-of-wedlock pregnancies and births, the more female headed households, the more incarcerated young males, the fewer men available for marriage, and thus the more out-of-wedlock sex. And so the cycle goes. Biblical morality, particularly as it pertains to sexuality, is not just an arbitrary admonition from God; it is the very real solution to our social problems.
The strength for which God is calling is the strength to say, “nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” Regardless of our will, we ought do the will of God, because God is wiser than are we, God loves us and God has our best interests at heart.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ makes it clear that it is wise for us to understand that
human death is a temporary, transitional situation, and not a permanent state of being. We are assured of this because Jesus Christ Himself rose physically from the dead. And we will as well.

The only competent advice that I can give anyone about life is based upon my experience with and understanding of the content of the Scripture. I know that the teaching of the Scripture is relevant to every situation, and if I can constrain myself to only give advice based upon the teaching of the Scripture, I will be doing the service to which God has called me.

Disobedience – our arrogant thinking that we know better than the one that has the position of authority over us, and so rather than discussing the situation with them and getting their agreement to our proposed action, we can just ignore their instructions and do that which we want.

Those of us that will have the opportunity to judge angels are not going to do so willy-nilly; our judgment will not be based upon our subjective conclusions, but rather, on how well we have mastered the objective concepts given in the Word of God.

In the book of Proverbs, Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived, endeavors to instruct his son in the proper way to live. Instructing our children, both verbally and by example, as to specifically how they should live is, in my opinion, the most important thing that we can do to insure that they appropriately handle their academic goals and life pursuits.

The Lord is giving us the task to change our focus from ourselves and our preoccupation with the mundane things of this world, and to focus, rather, on our intellectual preparation for making management decisions in the coming Kingdom of God.
