These are good tactical chapters, for how to live life. The reason is multi-faceted. Live you life in such a way to put yourself in the best possible situation with God, but also to show others around you the right way to live. Don't be a bad example. The thing that's funny to me is that I'm now looking at the instructions for "older men"....and not the "younger men" tasks. What happened to us? We used to be young!
