My dad's advice continues to find frequent application in my life - "Don't make significant decisions when you're angry." I've never regretted adhering to this, and I have always regretted ignoring it. Dr. Scott Manor, President, Professor of Historical Theology, Knox Theological Seminary I have received so much great advice in my lifetime, one of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received that always stuck with me was from my grandfather; we called him, Pop. He was the first one that took me to church as a child. He used to say, “don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” I think Benjamin Franklin was actually the first person to say this, but I remember Pop saying this and it has helped me in those moments where I may not feel like doing something or feel like I can just do it tomorrow, to get it done today. This advice has definitely built a sense of urgency in me and helps in not having to worry about doing that thing later, because it was done today. If anyone is thinking about applying this advice, don’t put it off until tomorrow because, well, it can start today. Steve Daigle, Campus Pastor, Calvary Chapel Parkland Mom always said, Stevie don’t get so worked up “THIS TOO SHALL PASS!” Over the years these four words have always kept me on track…and all the problems I could have let get to me didn’t…when I remembered Mom’s four words, “THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!” Steve Solomon, Area Director, CBMC South Florida When I was about 10 years old, I had told my dad what I considered a "little white lie." He knew it was a lie and he told me the importance of always being truthful. My response was, "it's not a big deal, it doesn't really count." His response was, "Everything Counts!" Although I didn't totally understand at that time, later in life those words came back to me when I caught myself telling another "little white lie." His words rang in my ears and since then, I have been striving to live a life of integrity! A life where Everything Counts! Tom Lukasik, Vice President – Engagement, 4KIDS The greatest advice I received was from Pastor Jim Richwine at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. I drifted from the Lord in my late teens and got into a pattern of unhealthy relationships. God started drawing me back to Himself, and I started attending CRPC. Still trying to hang onto the relationship, I prayed for God to make it clear whether I should stay or go. Two days later, I ran into Pastor Jim, and he asked how I was doing. I told him my struggle. He told me that I must put Jesus first. I could not stay in a relationship that did not submit to the Lord. If I stayed, I’d miss out on God’s best! He said that if I lived for Him, God would bring me that spiritual leader. I took his advice and that’s exactly what God did. Thank you, God, for bringing Pastor Richwine to rescue me and set me on a path of living for You!!! Tewannah Aman, Executive Director, Broward Right to Life Wants to Know… Romney C.
