“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
“Sensible of the importance of Christian piety and virtue to the order and happiness of a state, I cannot but earnestly commend to you every measure for their support and encouragement ...
