HALF THE TRUTH
Yesterday I talked about how back in Bible days it was expected that sons would be strong and courageous. But, that's only half the truth. David continued to exhort his young son Solomon to "Keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies" (1 Kings 2:3).
It takes a young man of strength to seek the truth and walk in it. It takes a man of courage to stand against the tide of public opinion and walk in God's ways, no matter what the ridicule.
I talked to a young man recently who favored Obama, not because of his stand for abortion and gay marriage, but because of his handouts! Oh my. God is looking for young men who are not one of the "uninformed voters" but who seek truth and stand for truth, no matter what cost to themselves.
Let's raise young men with who will keep the charge of the Lord and walk in the ways of the Lord in the midst of a deceived society.
