“Avoid trivial pursuits. You are a child of God, destined for glory, and called to do great things in His Name. Do not waste your life on hobbies, sports, and other recreational pursuits. Do not throw away the precious moments of your life on entertainment, movies, and video games. Though some of these things can properly have a 'small place' in the Christian's life, we must be careful not to give undue attention to temporal and fruitless activities. Do not waste your life. Employ the time of your youth in developing the character and skills necessary to be a useful servant of God.” GivingChildrenMomentsCharacterChristianFaithGamesNamesSportsPowerfulAttentionYouthActivitySkillsWasteGloryCarefulEntertainmentPursuitVideoGreat ThingsDevelopingServantBe CarefulHobbiesDestinedChild Of GodServant Of GodPrecious MomentsSmall Places Author:Paul Washer

“In this age of space flight, when we use the modern tools of science to advance into new regions of human activity, the Bible... remains in every way an up-to-date book. Our knowledge and use of the laws of nature that enable us to fly to the Moon also enable us to destroy our home planet with the atom bomb. Science itself does not address the question whether we should use the power at our disposal for good or for evil.
