The Decision of Youth
Jerry Vines
Daniel 1:8-21
Life is a series of decisions. Every day of your life you live on the basis of the decisions that you make. You make literally hundreds of decisions every day. You decide what you are going to do that day. You make a decision about how your are going to respond or react to the things that come to you. Life, everyday of our life, is a series of decisions.

For instance, in this chapter there is 2 a test of the believer's walk. In chapter two there is a test of the believer's witness.
In chapter three there will be a test of the believer's worship. Every test of life is designed to enable you to make the right decisions in your life. So, ...
