    Part 3.

    Parents who are wise and careful about these things do not loose their kids to the world easily. And kids who have rooted themselves in Christ with the aid of their parents and careful churches since little and not in the waters of this world are growing up steadily in Christ. With all the trials and hardships but they stay and if gone for a little while they eventually come back into their Fathers arms.

    I know all that because I have been one of those parents who were careless about my kid. I wasn't trying hard to plant the love of God in my son's heart. And now I am paying the consequences. And I complain to God as if it was His fault. But thanks God that we have a Father who fixes things up and builds back up the ruins we make in our lives. Times are tough. Christian parents wake up. Jesus is coming.

    Amen Brother Giannis!!

    That was an excellent and timely post!

    It also reminds me of what Brother Jesse said.

    Satan wants to control the "ATTENTION of our minds " There is a lot out there for the youth that can do this in this easy access to information.

    Today some parents is just a provider for the very things that enables their kids to depart from the parents guidance which can mean the parents have also departed from devine guidance.

    Thanks and God bless.

    Thanks brother Spencer.

    My intention was not to deal with the educational system of a country but to show how deep the spirit of world has entered these systems, which systems brainwash little kid's brains with secular ideas about God, homosexuality, trans, queer, ..., and other ideas which are opposed to God's Word. And how careful parents must be to keep their kids away from such ideas. I don't know much about the US but here in Europe the thing has gone to exteremes. There are countries where kids are tought about homosexuality since kindergarden, and parents are not even allowed to refuse their kids attending such classes. There are countries where one must sign a contract and admit that they accept homosexuality in order to work in the public sector. Other countries close down churches who dare preach that homosexuality is a sin. And one could be taken to court if they say anything against such things, accused of racism. So you see there is a whole system that presses christians in accepting such "values" or just shut their mouths up and keep their ideas for themselves. And christians evrywhere are in a tough position.

    On the other hand many christians are following world's way in trying to become "successful", the secular way of course. They are happy having successful kids. Not much interested about their kids' spiritual condition. Everything for them is translated as material success.

    But we have been given our kids by God to bring them safely to heaven. What are we going to tell Him if we haven't done that?

    We must be very careful and close to our kids and their life. Times are tough, tougher than any other age before.

    Yes Brother Giannis.

    That's pretty much like it is here in the US.

    These days it's hard to reach the younger generation.

    I believe it takes much prayer.

    We often here prayer requests for a nation but not so much the youth.

    Thanks and God bless.
