The speaker reflects on George Washington's 110 Rules of Civility and Jonathan Edwards' resolutions as examples of sober-minded young men. He cites the Apostle Paul's admonition in Titus chapter 2 for young men to be sober-minded, abounding in good works, knowledgeable and practical in their application of doctrine. The purpose is to make boys ashamed of their lack of these qualities. The speaker prays that the listeners will be sober-minded young men like Washington and Edwards, raised up by God in times of need.

So there you have it, George Washington's 110 Rules of Civility and Jonathan Edwards' resolutions. These two young men were wonderful examples of sober-minded young men. Oh, how we need that kind of young man today. Both of them fulfill the admonition of the Apostle Paul in Titus chapter 2 verses 6 through 8 when he said, Exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things showing yourself a pattern of good works, in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you." So there are a number of things here that the Apostle Paul desires for young men. First, to be sober-minded, to be abounding in good works, to be knowledgeable and practical in their application of doctrine.

But there's a purpose to make the boys that are not that way ashamed, having nothing evil to save you. I pray that that would be you and that you would be one of these sober-minded young men that God so carefully raises up in times of need like ours today. God bless you and thank you for listening.
