The Blame

My dear husband has been telling me for months...ok, years that times are changing.   He has been warning me that we need to prepare our children for the times ahead.  We haven't done anything different than we have before; however, we have stayed up talking and sharing with one another the ways we can help our children. 

 

We feel that we need to continue our daily reading of the Word with our children and discuss the ways of the Lord through out each day.  We need to help them to be strong Warriors ready to fight for Truth. We need to help them see that the Lord needs courageous followers who will never waver from the path Christ laid before them. 

 

This past Friday was yet another reminder that much needs to be done for our children's future.  As I was reading the blog, No Greater Joy,  I found the words that expressed it so well.  It was written by the author's friend on facebook.  Please read and remember that this is our fault.  We have strayed from the Truth.  We have strayed from the Father. 

 

We have a job to do.  Let's get at it and teach our children to follow the Lord as we unashamed follow the Saviour.  Be courageous.  Be a Warrior.  Be a teacher.  Be an uncompromising follower of Christ...one our children can use as an example.

 

"We teach our children that there is no God, that morality is tractable and reducible. So what do you expect? We teach our children that there are no losers, that everyone wins. So when life teaches them failure they can't handle it. So what do you expect? We teach our children that losing touch with reality is "recreational". So when they do drugs, it's OK. So what do you expect? We teach our children that you don't have to earn respect, it's automatic. Then they get frustrated when they don't get respected. So what do you expect? We teach our children that it's OK to kill babies in the womb. Then shouldn't it be OK to kill children in the school? So what do you expect? We teach our children that it's wrong to pray on the football field, on the basketball court on the baseball diamond. So they learn to prey on each other. So what do you expect? We teach our children that the truth can be offensive. So they speak lies and pretend. So what do you expect? We teach our children that reverence to things in antiquity is passe, so history is left to obscurity. So what do you expect? We give our children television where every form of deprivation is acceptable. So they grow up depraved. So what do you expect? Sadly, we can expect more Newtowns in the near future. We are reaping what we have sown. Children learn whether we want them to or not. Don't blame the guns, blame our teachings." Shared by Doug Billings
