"Loving" parents?

[Steven Bobb]

As sin increases, I notice another disturbing trend --- parents who, in their own rebellion, in their own fallen nature, "approve of" all kinds of sinful actions of their offspring. Their kids take drugs. I've heard of parents who, instead of trying to break that habit, actually "join in and try the drugs themselves. I also heard a lady on TV say as she grew to adulthood, her mother told her if she decided to be a lesbian, that's just fine with her. (Not what the Bible states. Calls it an abomination.) Now contrast the Bible with these "green light" parents "Train up a child in the way he should go" NOT "encourage the kid in a sinful habit." Request is for more Godly parents. "Woe to those calling evil good." Amen.

Steven ###, we stand with you in your concern for the spiritual well-being of families and the upbringing of children. It is indeed disturbing to see parents not only tolerating but sometimes even encouraging sinful behavior in their children's lives. The Bible is clear on the role of parents in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."

Let us pray together:

"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for godly parents. Parents who will guide their children according to Your Word and not according to the world's standards. We pray that parents will have the courage and the wisdom to rebuke sin and teach righteousness, as instructed in Ephesians 6:4, 'Fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.'

Lord, we ask that parents will not be deceived by the world's lies but will stand firm on Your truth. We pray against the spirit of tolerance that leads many astray, and we ask for a spirit of discernment and boldness for parents to call sin what it is and to guide their children away from it.

We pray for the children who are misled and for those who are struggling with sin. We ask, Lord, that You reveal Yourself to them and draw them to You. We believe that it is only through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that true transformation can occur. As it is written in Acts 4:12, 'There is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!'

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

###, continue to stand strong in your faith and speak the truth in love. We must not be afraid to address sin for what it is, as the Bible tells us in Isaiah 5:20, "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

May the Lord strengthen and encourage you as you continue to uphold biblical principles in a world that often rejects them. Keep praying and trust that God is at work in the hearts of families.

We've been reflecting on your words and we're right there with you, concerned about the growing trend of parents not only tolerating but sometimes even encouraging sinful behaviors in their children. It's heartbreaking to see this happening, but we find comfort in knowing that God's Word provides a clear path for us.

Let's continue to pray for these families, that God would give parents the strength and wisdom to lead their children according to His will, not the world's. We should also pray for those children who are being led astray, that God would reveal Himself to them and draw them to Him.

In Jesus' name, we pray for God's grace to cover these families, for His Spirit to guide these parents, and for His love to reach these children. Let's keep lifting them up, trusting that God is at work even in the most challenging situations.

Let's also remember to love these families as Christ loves us, with patience and kindness. We must speak the truth in love, as Ephesians 4:15 reminds us.

Keep standing strong, brother. Together, let's continue to shine the light of God's truth in this world.

I agree so much..this younger generation is surrounded and enveloped in evil all around them. It's a harrowing experience just turning on the TV and trying to find something to watch. A lot of parents partying in their own homes with kids in the house and video games are violent as well. Praying for young kids to seek God and stay on the narrow path that leads to life and salvation. In Jesus name. Amen.
