They are then "schooled" by the government and taught that life is about THEM and their happiness....about achieving success and having money, about living to pursue their dreams at all costs...they are schooled to be selfish. Another important lesson is learned along the way. It goes something like this: Children, you see, are a costly burden that should be avoided, or at least limited, so that your goals aren't hindered...because after all, its all about you. Children are also a lot of hard work and well, being tied down with them is far less exciting then traveling and lavish vacations. Thrown into this mix are classes on sexuality, reproduction, and acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle....all taught to children with already raging hormones. They are told its okay to embrace their sexuality, that it's normal to feel that way and that reacting to those feelings is fine, even outside of marriage. Just go ahead and do what feels right, use contraception, and if an "accident" happens, well....there's always abortion. See, its all about you and its not really a baby anyway....so it's okay. Do whatever needs to be done as long as your happy. All of these lessons are backed up and reinforced by television ads, and the
There are no lessons on the value of human life, the value that GOD himself places on human life. No lessons on the blessing that children really are. They are not taught that all life is a gift from GOD. They are not taught that sex was designed by God, for marriage only, to bring both pleasure AND children. They are not taught that everything they do in life has eternal consequences and there will one day be a judgement. Lord have mercy on this nation! How have things gone so far? Why is there so little value placed on human life, not only by the world but even in the church? Oh that the church would wake up and take a stand. May we be diligent in teaching our children the Truth. The life God designed is about sacrifice....pouring yourself out for others when you feel you've already been emptied. There is no place for selfishness in your walk with Christ. Yes raising children is hard work, but it's kingdom work...and it matters. May we go completely against the grain and teach our children to take a stand for life. May we teach them to be warriors for Jesus Christ and to fight for what matters to Him. I myself have begun preparing my children to go to the front lines of this battle, to the very gates of hell to confront this spiritual war. I've been convicted once again of my need to daily instruct my children that life is a gift that only God can give, and that only God should take...that life is indeed ALWAYS a gift, never a choice.
