That's the main reason i fell away as a teen & into my early 20's, was from my home being a "church going home" & not a godly home. Plus being in public school & influenced by the world more than the church & my parents. Love this article! It needs to be heard.
I would also encourage everyone to speak to their children about current events…(age appropriate obviously) Especially talk about things that impact Christianity as a whole. Pray together for some of the christians around the world who are being persecuted. The Christians in Iran, the Christians in Ukraine and Russia… the Christians in Nigeria… the Christians in South Africa. Etc. etc. etc.… and especially pray about Christians here in America! 🇺🇸
Political topics, abortion, LGBTQ, and transgenderism need to be discussed as well… if your kids are in public school, you need to ask what they’re being taught and what the Bible says about these topics.
Honoring parents, honoring the elderly, respect, and what our Bible teaches us about all of these subjects.
And here is one that I never thought I would have to discuss with my kids. During my daughter’s school years in our homeschool, three of her friends came to me and told me that they wanted to be homeschooled. Of course I asked why. Apparently boys at school were touching them inappropriately. I went to the parents immediately. Unfortunately, nothing was done after that. 😱 There is NO protection for these young ladies in public school. I later asked some of my friends at church whose kids were in public high school. They brought it up with their daughters. Several had the same thing happen to them as well. I guess sexual bullying is a thing…🔥🤦🏽♀️ please talk to your kids parents.
How about this one… The “soft parenting” movement? 😵 Believe it or not, my teenagers have VERY strong opinions about the young parents and their children at church. 😱
The teenagers in the youth group talk amongst themselves and discuss this stuff. It’s very interesting to hear what they have to say…🤔
Open lines of communication are a must… The devil is “pulling out all the stops” to get our children… The Bible has everything we need to talk to our kids…
I completely agree . After many hours of self inquiry , I admit our home failed. I failed . Failed to share my relationship with God , depended on a great church and school to instruct my kids .. hoped my husband would take the lead . One child turned away from God after a terrible marriage ended. Now years later, she’s got one trans daughter , one purposely sexy daughter and a little one who can sing along to K-Pop Demon Hunters .
Cause and Effect .
Guess what parents - they don’t come back for advice after they leave … so give them a grounding while you can .
Exactly.
