A young boy once complained to his father that the songs they sang at church were boring and old-fashioned, and that they did not appeal to his generation. His father challenged him by saying, “If you think you can write better songs, then why don’t you?”

The boy accepted his challenge, went to his room, and wrote his first song. The year was 1690, and the young man was Isaac Watts. Among his 350 hymns are “Joy to the World”, “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”, “I Sing the Almighty Power of God”, and many other classics.

Rather than complaining about how things are, let’s try to do something to make life better!

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”—Matt.5:14.
