2 Timothy 4:1-4
If you have your Bible, please turn to 2nd Timothy chapter 4, I want to talk to you tonight about ''A Preacher's Solemn Charge.''

And so this kind of fits in, this dad had ten simple rules for dating his daughter. He sat down with a potential date, and he said this:
''If you pull into my driveway and honk, you better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up'' (laughter). Rule number two: ''You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off my daughter's body I will remove them'' (laughter). Rule number three: ''I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys your age to wear their trousers so loose that they appear to be falling off. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all your fri ...
