What one generation does in moderation the next generation will do in EXCESS!
We do not consider this statement in raising our children. Often times we tell them “do as I say, not as I do” but that philosophy has not worked to keep our children safe from sin or going the way of the world, instead of living on the path of righteousness.
They watch mom and dad drink “socially”, so they become alcoholics. They watch mom and dad smoke an occasional cigarette, and their smoking habits are far worse. They watch mom and dad sink into fleshly sin, and their appetites for satisfying the flesh far surpass those of their parents.
Reality is the bible was Breathed into existence as a living example for us to follow because humans are creatures that tend to follow each other.
Example a famous actor or singer starts wearing their pants backwards, with the buckle in the back and how many people do you see doing the EXACT same thing??
As parents how do we expect our children to NOT walk as we walk, or do as we do?
I challenge you to examine yourself to be sure that all things will bring glory to Our Lord!
1Cr 6:19-20
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
May we seek you Lord in all we do- and bring you Glory!!
