Today's OneWord is "Children"
The world has taken our children, and we need to get them back. Society has totally brain washed our children with all kinds of negative images. Videos, social media, peer pressure, and bullying are constant features in a child's life today. The average child spends more time learning the words to an unhealthy song than studying for an important test, learning the newest dance instead of enhancing a God given talent, lowering their dignity in place of learning how to be an ambassador for Christ. In addition, they sit in front of the TV all day watching all the reality TV shows, other than picking up a book to do their homework, volunteering in the community, helping a fellow peer, or doing something worthwhile in society. We have children talking back to their parents, unappreciative of their parent's sacrifice, doing all types of drugs, in and out of jail, and dropping out of school at an early age. As I sit back and think about our children, I realize that the problem is most parents today are worried about upsetting their children, trying to be their friends, and accepting their disrespected behavior towards others, when they should be worried about living on purpose and how to please God.
Our children are heading down a path of destruction, and if we do not take control of the situation 'right now', they will continue to fall by the waste side. As parents, we need to start leading by example, teach our children how to be respectful to one another and teach them the ways of the Lord. We need to become more aware of what our children are doing in school, doing in the church, doing at home as well as what they are doing on their spare time.
We are living in a world today where children are not just talking back to their parents, they are being physically aggressive. Physical abuse is addictive, and need to be handled as a serious offense. A child who hits their parents, talks rudely to his or her parents, once or twice, and get away with it will continue the behavior, and it will progressively get worst.
The Bible tells us, "Children, be obedient to your parents in all things". God said when we teach our children according to His ways, it pleases Him. Parents it is time to ensure our children are creating a productive environment not one that takes from it. Do not agree with our children when they are wrong or disruptive. Let us teach them the correct way. Remember the saying. "The apple does not fall too far from the tree." Parents protect our children; they are the next generation. We are to take our place in their lives and be responsible adults and represent in a positive way.
