You can raise successful children even in this fallen world!
In our days, children like me and you confront a negative world. A world of fear, sadness, unrighteousness and Christ-less. Everyday, we are on top of a situation that we can’t handle. We are force to think, to see and to do violent and wicked things like drugs, smoke, alcohols and sex. Our parents are losing their hope because of this world’s theory. Even if they are teaching the Word of God to us, because of this world, it is useless and inefficient. We don’t listen and we just think that it’s not important and it’s out of the “in”.
In short, we are just fooling around with the devils and ignoring the truth.
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise: That it may be well with you and you may live long on earth.”-Ephesians 6:1-3
Do you ever think that in every short time of happiness that this world brings, there’s always a negative equivalent for each? Every laughter, there is pain. Every smile, there’s frown and every glee, there’s a suffering.
We are really a fool! We always choose the bad things with happiness that don’t persist rather than the happiness that comes from the Lord that persists.
