Graduation

June 01, 2008 Brother Lonnie Francis

Graduation is a time when many young men and women will enter into new phases of life. For most it will be a future that includes uncertainty, some of it will be good, and some will be bad. Many new challenges and changes will be encountered, which will impact the rest of the adult life.

With the school of life comes mistakes, and no one is excluded. It is what we do with those mistakes that make the difference. Mistakes are some the best learning tools in life. Mistakes can also be fatal, especially when life does not include God.

It is important that we include God while pursuing careers and goals. Success or failure will be determined by the type of relationship that we have with Him.

In planning for the future, rule number one: "Give God what is God’s" Live a life that honors God. A life of honesty and self-respect, holding morals and values at their highest standards.

The bible is the only manual for life, it teaches real and lasting success.

Sin will make you miserable, and virtue will make you happy, so our decisions and actions do make a difference in this world.

Strive for achievement and excellence in the Kingdom of God, and the future will always be bright.
