Alright, did you all bring a pen and a paper with you?

Let's open up your, get your paper and pencil out.

Okay, this 1, this is a simple test, true or false answers.

Your father has a brain tumor and it appears to be inoperable.

Before he has the surgery, it would be wise, this is true or false, it would be wise to check with other health professionals to see who the best brain surgeon is in the area and what his or her success rate is.

You're about to select a postgraduate degree, institution.

Your future, your income, and your job depend on making the right choice.

True or false, it would be wise for you to counsel with others in your own field and in the same profession as and with your faculty advisors as to which university you should choose.

It would be wise to counsel with a realtor and your banker to get the best interest rate.

You know a half a percent can mean a lot over the period of a loan.

Good to check with your investment banker and your realtor to get the best rate and to buy in the best neighborhood.

You're successful in your career and you want to start buying stocks and build a portfolio.

It's important to counsel with your investment banker, listen to the street on the radio, and counsel with other investors to get the best rate and build your portfolio in the best way possible, true or false?

You don't know how this bothers me to have a cord hanging out like this, but That's the way it has to be.

You have children and you want to start up a retirement account and a college education account.

True or false, It's wise to counsel with another investment counselor and a retirement advisor to ensure that you will choose the best rate of return on your investment and diversify properly.

You're about to choose your life mate you can wing this 1 on your own true or false How many of you answered true to numbers 1 through 5?

How many of you answered false on number 6?

I remember what, how many of you know Dr.

Burnell Baldwin at Wildwood, he used to be a teacher down here at Loma Linda.

Diehl said when he was in his Doctor of Public Health, Dr.

Baldwin was teaching a class 1 day and he was talking to just all guys in his class.

I mean, if you know this man, he's incredible.

He said, gentlemen, when you choose a wife, let me give you some counsel.

He said, don't look at the fenders, check the engine.

Many of you in here are facing that time in your life when you are facing the decision of choosing who you will share your life with.

But those of you who are married, don't run away because we're going to make this appropriate for you too.

Why is it that on this most important decision, society tells us you make up your own mind.

Why is it that so few young people seek the counsel and advice of their godly parents.

I want to level the playing field right now right from the very beginning, ok?

I've been your age, but you haven't been my age yet.

And the Bible says that a hoary head, This is a hoary head, what I got here, this gray hair.

A hoary head is a crown of honor, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

Why is it that so many young people today make the most important decision of their life based on looks and feelings and not on intuition and spirituality and godly counsel I want to look at why the marriage relationship is so important to God.

I've got to get this little thing out here because I can talk for a long time.

Why did God give marriage to the human race?

So far as we know, Ellen White says that when God made the human race, He made a distinct order of creation.

We may be, we don't know, but it seems to be when we look at counsel that we are the only race in the universe, the only creation in the universe that can procreate itself.
