“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.” John F. Kennedy
As we work our way through this series, we are first stopping at the age of men youngest and most impressionable: those young adult (high school/college) and single men. Yes this is a large age group to cover. Yes a lot happens in these years. But there are some common tenets these younger men must adhere to; certain traits they must develop in Christ. We see a firm foundation of truth must be laid. We see an avoidance of the world's trappings and temptations (and necessary boundaries/preventative measures established). Finally we see that in charting a course in life (finding a career, a spouse, a calling) involves seeking the Lord's heart and following His lead. This is a crucial part of a man's life. This is a time to either press in and put down roots OR waste and squander the potential we have.
I pray this is an episode that will minister to young men in this stage of life. Please feel free to share with those who you think might need to hear this teaching.
