WAY-M Retreat
1st Annual Young Men’s Retreat
Dangers in Young Men’s Lives
Christianity is a Battle.
We all have a race to run, a battle to fight, a heart to humble, a world to overcome, a body to keep under control, a devil to resist. To be a champion, you have to successfully defeat your enemies. Your enemies need to know that you mean business as you battle them; that you’re not going make peace with them; that your goal is victory, and nothing less.
Four of the greatest enemies faced by young men are pride, the love of pleasure, thoughtlessness and the fear of man’s opinion. Bible teacher J.C. Ryle discusses these enemies as “Dangers of Young Men.”
We will be using his book as our guide as we study them: we will learn to understand these enemies better, and how they attack; examine our vulnerabilities to these adversaries, and how to guard ourselves against their assaults; and how to conquer them.
Ryle’s book, Thoughts for Young Men, is available online: http://thoughtsforyoungmen.com/. Read chapter 2, “Dangers of Young Men,” to prepare for the retreat.
