Be Sober Minded, Young Man

Just one short phrase. Does that mean young men get off lightly? No. Remember it is often said that young men just grow up to be big boys. I believe that is often true. Young men are exhorted to be balanced and careful in their lives, to curb sinful desires and learn good habits instead of bad. People prefer amusement, which means not thinking, rather than considering the real meaning and purpose of life. This is so much the case with your average young man. He does not want to think through where he is going. Thinking through the consequences of your action.
