Wisdom and Youth
Marshall Reid
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was a teenager at
Florida College, full of energy and life, feeling like I could
take on the world. I was going to be successful. I was going to be
somebody. I had so many things I wanted to do, places I wanted to
visit, goals I wanted to accomplish. And considering just how
smart I thought I was, there was no doubt all those dreams would
come true.
Maybe you’re at a similar stage in life, ready to spread your
wings and take the world head on, making your own way. It may be
you feel just the opposite, completely overwhelmed by what’s
ahead, not knowing what you want to do with your life, not feeling
ready to spread your wings just yet.

association or club of some kind. But none of these are what the
Bible means by the term "church."

religious connotation. It is used in Acts 19, for example, to
describe; an assembly in a city - a "town meeting." But
Jesus Christ invested the term with rich spiritual meaning when He
said, "I will build My church and the gates of Hades will not
overpower it" (Matthew 16:18).
