The folkish-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially of God's will, and actually fulfill God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated.

If you don't have a vision for the future, then your future is threatened to be a repeat of the past.
What we have done in the past is not sufficient now to prepare our youth.
