My niece posted the above statement on Facebook. This is the world we live in today. This is the reality that our children see everyday. Why is the world our children live in this way? When did it all start to come apart?
1962 and 1963 Supreme Court ruled State sponsored prayer and Bible reading is prohibited in school. 1992 they ruled public prayer at school functions as unconstitutional. God has been kicked out of schools. The very foundation for Judeo Christian ethics has been erased from our schools.
If our children do not have any foundations for what is morally right, why would we expect them to live a moral life? With no moral guidance in the schools ,where they live most of the day, is it no wonder that they have no hope in their lives for a bright future? They see only the emptiness of a world gone wrong.
Paul wrote to the Christians in Ephesus saying “It wasn’t so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn’t know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience. We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat. It’s a wonder God didn’t lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his own, with no help from us! Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.” Ephesians 2:1-6 (The Message)
There is still hope but it will not be found in any political or school programs. The solution is not in rules and laws but in Jesus Christ and the Word of God. God has the answers to how we should live.
