     | 5,694 views

    Young people slowly turn away from the Church. They loose interest in Christ. They feel boredom in the preaching of pastors, even a young man had that problem in Mark. A little further walk with Christ could have given him a great light. Where are you today, O young man?

Someone needs to remind them to remember. “How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.” (Psalm 119:9). “It is good for a man that he bears the ...read more
