… we will tell the next generation … Psalms 78:4 

 

Parents, wake up! You wouldn’t permit a porno theatre in your neighborhood, yet the enemy has taken the Information Highway and used it to transport his filth right into your child’s bedroom - legally. If we’re to save our children, we’ve got to make sure what we say matches what we’re doing to make it happen. You can’t just close your eyes and hope for the best. You can’t delegate this responsibility to the childcare centre, the schoolteacher, the scoutmaster or even the church youth leader. You can’t solve the problem by buying your kids more 'stuff.' You can’t sacrifice them for your career, assuming that if there’s no crisis underfoot at home, everything must be fine. No, the best defense is a good offence. Listen to these sobering Scriptures: The first addresses the pedophile and pornographer: 'If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!' (Matthew 18:6-7). The second is for parents: '[Things]... we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from [our] children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done' (Psalm 78:3-4). Noah 'saved his family' (Hebrews 11:7). Make sure you do yours!
