First Point

Remember your Creator.


“But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible

the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up

some sixty million of our people, I could not put it more accurately

than to repeat: Aleksandr

Solzhenitsyn


Men have forgotten God; that's why all

this has happened.”Aleksandr

Solzhenitsyn


Ecclesiastes 12:1Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will

say, "I have no delight in them"


Second Point

Remember your greatest challenge.


“The concepts of good and evil have been ridiculed for several centuries; banished from common use... Aleksandr

Solzhenitsyn


It has become embarrassing to state that evil makes its home in the individual human heart…”Aleksandr

Solzhenitsyn


Jeremiah 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?


Third Point

Remember what’s truly important.


“Our life consists not in the pursuit of material success but in the quest for worthy spiritual growth.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn


Our entire earthly existence is but a transitional stage in the movement toward something higher, and we must not stumble and fall, nor must we linger fruitlessly on one rung of the ladder.

Material laws alone do not explain our life or give it direction. The laws of physics and physiology will never reveal the indisputable manner in which the Creator constantly, day in and day out, participates in the life of each of us, unfailingly granting us the energy of existence; when this assistance leaves us, we die.”


Matthew 619 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,


Matthew 620 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.


Matthew 621 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.


Ecclesiastes 226 For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Philippians 411b for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
