5. On sexual purity 002: There is no sexual intercourse that leaves you the same.
6. On tomorrow: One thing I cherish about tomorrow is, you will never know who will be relevant, available, alive, bigger, smaller, richer, poorer, and mostly needed. Tread carefully and softly, because only God knows tomorrow. So, love, forgive and be good to everyone. Tomorrow is real.
7. On financial blessing: When God blesses you financially, don’t raise your standard of living. Raise your standard of giving.
