As we celebrate this Easter, we Christians are faced with the greatest threat to our way of life we have ever seen. The generations of the 60's, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s have in so many cases lost the love for Jesus. We have banned God from our Cities, from or Schools and in so many cases from our hearts. The beauty of God and his workings are so amazing and all around us
yet we have given into temptation by allowing others to take our place in the education of the Children in the ways of the world. We have let others form the minds and the focus of their future when it comes to the ways of God and his teaching. Where we had Sunday Schools we have Football games, where we had family time we have TV time. 9 times out of 10 when we have dinner, it’s thrown on a plate and eaten in front of the TV or with earbuds blasting their brains with whatever. The idea that we give thanks for our food has disappeared. We seem to have less and less time for one on one with our children. We have in so many cases lost the ability of selflessness in other words we care more for instant gratification than what lies in the future. It is present in the in ability to even keep the sacred vows of marriage. Children of today are being taught by personal experience that you can renege on any contract if you have the slightest difference of opinion. So many are deciding that by avoiding the idea of marriage all together they are not bound by any lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in sickness and health. Don’t think the kids of today aren’t being developed to be even more self-centered. We have allowed a past President to say that America is not a Christian Nation without an uproar from the people. We have allowed others to use our Constitution against us by eliminating all references of God from our teaching. The worst possible thing is we have failed to be parents to our children allowing them to grow up and develop on their own without passing on the love of God and the story of Jesus. I ask each of you to turn off your phones for this one day and enjoy the fellowship of your family and friends.
