Some say, "Man is worth two or three dollars of chemical substances". If this is the right answer, there is nothing seriously wrong with lining up young men and women as cannon fodder. There is a Christian way of look- ing at man. First, we are all po- tential children of God. Children resemble their parents. We can to a degree think His thoughts after Him. We are precious in His sight. If this is the right answer, it makes a difference what young people do on a date. God wants us to enjoy ourselves properly. has made us free to choose our own way, even to turning against Him. We need to be clear as to what sin is. Sin is putting our wills over against God's. Third, we should be proud of what we are and do. God wants us to use our talents for Him. To misuse our bodies is wrong. We are never fully happy until we place ourselves in God's keeping. We must forget self and do God's will. Give ourselves to Him and His programme without delay. God is the goal of our being. The clos- er we move to Him, the nearer we get to be like Him.
