Friday evening my friend and I relaxed in the coffee house next to the theater while we waited for our movie's start time. We watched the teenagers congregating outside. It made me reflect on how important it is to train up a child in the way in which they should go. So when they get older they do not depart from it. They leave the home and often times attend a university away from home. They will not be sheltered from the influences of the world; therefore, we need to equip them with as much truth as possible for the battle. I don't think we should live in a Christian bubble because there is a generation that is so desperate and hopeless without Christ. But as you mentioned wherever the Lord is, there is freedom. God will give His children wisdom and strength to go and live out their faith amongst the unbelieving.
Thanks so much for your posts! I really enjoy them.
Good advice.........it's a shame we've lost an entire generation.
