The OLD WAVE for young men: drink tons of alcohol, abuse your body, have zero discipline, get bad sleep, ignore God and the good of your soul, chase girls, avoid children and commitment, seek fast money, have a non-committal relationship with the church, chase plastic joy on screens and pads and tablets, prey on the innocent for temporary pleasure, quickly divorce if she doesn't make you happy, and generally live a non-substantive life based in partying and excess and things that fade.

The NEW WAVE for young men: pursue Christ and the good of your soul, study the Word daily, pray often, get in shape, eat well, exercise often, take care of your body, embrace discipline, get good sleep, fight for purity, seek marriage if called to it, build a vocation over the long haul, hold fast to your wife through thick and thin, tenderly invest in your kids, serve your church by any means necessary, disciple a man younger than you, risk your life to protect the innocent, and generally live a substantive life based in truth and hope and the permanent things by the power of the gospel.

Single sisters,

Do not date or marry a man who:

1. Has potential.

Remember: as now, so then. Don't date or marry a man who isn't walking closely with God in hopes he might later. Certainly, God can use a godly sister to help a struggling brother, but she must not settle for a spiritually apathetic man in hopes of what he might be.

2. Treats his mother poorly.

I have found that if a man is cold, uncaring, and disrespectful toward his mother, it carries over into his relationship with his wife. A man who honors his mother tenderly, thoughtfully, and with a servant's heart often cares for his wife similarly.

3. Can't be corrected.

Few things are scarier than a man who's always right.

4. Watches porn.

Pornography is Satanic sexual discipleship.

I'm not suggesting you need to find a man who hasn't struggled with porn. If he's humble, honest, contrite, and wars against it, that's hopeful. But if he minimizes its wickedness and is unwilling to seek help and truly repent, that's very dangerous.

5. Loves you more than Jesus.

His love for Jesus is what gives you hope that He will know how to love you well. If he's willing to disobey Jesus to please you, he's not a safe man. You need a man who fears God more than anything else. That's a man you can trust.

“Is the sermon good?” asked Lucy.
“Good?” said Mr. Preacher. “Who said anything about good? Of course it’s not good. But it’s done.”

When we join a local church, we are choosing to love others with clarity, not ambiguity, based on commitment, not convenience.

Young people don’t need adults who act like kids to connect with them.

Young people need adults who act like adults, but care about them.
