Why do we live in such a backwards and fallen world?!?!?
Standing in the line at the grocery store my eyes happen to glance over to this weeks newest and latest Trash-a-zines and my next thought is "Are you Serious"?!?
When did teen moms become the new celebrity? Where was I when this happened? .......And apparently there is a show dedicated to it on MTV????
I mean do you realize just what kind of message this is conveying to our children? How about... "It's cool to have a baby at age 16", or "WOW! how glamorous to have a drooling toddler strapped to my hip".... Maybe if I have two I will be on the next issue of OK Weekly!
When my parents were growing up, if you got pregnant as a teenager you were sent off (in secret mind you) to some unknown relatives house until after delivery with the story that you were traveling abroad for the year.
It was shameful.
Now it's applauded and apparently a mass money maker to boot!
What has happened to us?
Parents I think we need to make a committment to teaching our children about the importance of Purity.
Fathers show your sons by example how important it is to wait for their beautiful bride.
Mothers explain to your daughters about the gift they possess that only their husband should ever open.
Love your children. Be involved in their lives, because if you don't someone will gladly take your place as their teacher.
For this is God’s will, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality, so that each of you knows how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not with lustful desires, like the Gentiles who don’t know God. This means one must not transgress against and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these offenses, as we also previously told and warned you. For God has not called us to impurity, but to sanctification. Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
Kids always get a lesson from school whether we like it or not. Nothing you can do about it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you as far as them getting a lesson from school but I strongly disagree when you say there is nothing we can do about it.
ReplyDeleteThere is power in prayer. The Lord tells us to ask and if it be His will we will receive.
I pray for my child and I have no douby what-soever that it is the driving miracle behind her growth as a lovely Christian young lady.
The perfectionist in me must correct a typo. Instead of douby let's call it *doubt* :)
