Saving Ourselves from a Crooked Generation
Acts 2:40
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.


A man ought not to be carried to hell by his surroundings. Many a man has lived in a crooked generation, and adapted himself to it most completely. And many a man has lived in a crooked generation, and kept straight all the way through it. If your generation is crooked, that is no reason why you should be. But if you would keep straight in this generation, or in any other, you have got something to do about it. Your responsibility is for yourself, in spite of your generation. If your generation is crooked, see that; you don't crook with it.

(H. S. Trumbull.)
