Don’t trust your own opinion, when you find it contrary to that of older men, and especially to that of your own parents.
(J. C. Ryle, 19th century Anglican bishop, speaking to young men)
Young people tend to think they’re more mature than they really are. They often think they have the answers their elders have missed. But, they would do well to heed Bishop Ryle’s advice.
Encourage the young men to be self-controlled (Titus 2:6) … Young men . . be submissive to those who are older. (1 Peter 5:5)
