The cultural phenomenon known as 'adolescent geriatrics' is when a senior citizen, ignoring the ravages of time, continues youthful styles, desires, and goals.

Children who learn to obey their parents (and by extension, the laws of God and society) save themselves from untold grief later in life.

Young people in the church must realize that they are not invincible. Not only is God's law no respecter of persons, but also sanctification can be lost.
