Teach Them

You know, I was going to write this huge post today on purity and all that, but you know what? I'm tired of talking. We TALK so stinking much! DO WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN WHAT WE ARE SAYING AND ACTUALLY DO IT OURSELVES???? I don't want to waste my time talking anymore. I'm going to put more action into what I say. I usually keep what I believe "on the down-low," but, right now, how can I afford to do that when this generation is going where it is? It makes me so upset to watch good Christian kids slip into the world, or in and out of it, which is the very familiar case of today's society. But, you know what, I don't blame them completely. Who do they have to look up to? They are only doing what they see acted out by people all over television and worse yet, in their lives. They don't even see a present standard of purity and holiness. Even the church today has been infiltrated with just plain junk. It makes me sick spiritually to watch godly people shrink back and allow the ungodly ones to rise up. But, you ask the ones who aren't 100% living for God and you know what they will say? "We don't have anyone to look to anymore, because the ones who used to, have all disappeared." WOW. Ok, huge wake up call! Let's stop putting down this rising generation and start finding out where in the world we have been hiding at. Are we afraid that they will rebel? Let me take a moment to laugh ........ still laughing ......... trying to control myself .......... ok, I think I will be fine now. WHERE IN THE WORLD HAVE YOU BEEN? IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND??! Come on, that's not a new concept. That has been going on from the time of ADAM & EVE for goodness sake. Spare the rod, spoil the child ...... seriously, this generation WANTS SOME STINKING GUIDANCE. But, we are so worried that they "will be upset and not like me and not think I am the coolest parent/person/friend/whatever anymore," um, no matter how much you try to please them, it's NOT going to happen. Kids, teens, whatever, are no longer afraid of people over them. WE have become afraid of THEM? Where in the world did that twisted mindset come in and invade? What, some Dude wrote a book called "Let Them Do What They Want and When You Are Old and Grey They Will Thank You For Letting Them Do Drugs & Have Sex"?????!!!! Yes, I said the word. For goodness sake, if you haven't got a clue yet, when will you? You are afraid to talk to your kids/teens about this stuff, but I promise you they know a whole lot more than any human being has a right to know. Stop being afraid. This generation needs you. They are trying to figure this whole thing called "life" out on their own and they can't. They need you to help them. A baby can never learn to talk if it is never spoken to and never taught. A child can never learn to read unless they are taught to. A teen will never know how to LIVE if they are never shown what the true meaning of life is. Living isn't about "experiancing," it's about learning. You want this generation to experiance EVERYTHING? Why? So, they can be found wasted on a street corner somewhere half dead and alone? OR do you want them to learn? In order for them to learn, they need YOU to teach them. I know I am being a little rough, but if that's what it takes, then that's what it takes for you to understand. If you want to stop seeing the junk going on that has been, then you need to step in.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

(Proverbs 22:6)
