How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Here's the answer! Here is the alternative to escapism! Here is reality rather than fantasy! It is the answer to those who escape through drugs and alcohol; to those who escape through fantasy mind games; to those who escape through violent and destructive behavior; it is the answer. Your Word leads all who heed it into pure and righteous lives; into lives in the Kingdom; into lives that are righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. You are Lord!
