He said if we cannot answer in the affirmative, then "You face a lot of long nights and empty nets." Then he challenged the youth to "remain clean."

For each of his sons he carved a scripture that described one spiritual gift the Lord had revealed to him, as a result of prayer and observation, that his son's possessed.
