The Sunday Sermon: What Do I Tell My Kids?
My kids came home from school this week asking about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I can’t imagine that we are alone. As Ukraine continues to look more and more like the beginning of Russia’s conquests as opposed to the end, how do you have a conversation with your children about an increasingly volatile world?
Study after study has come out saying that parents succeed with difficult conversations when they have their kids in church. There’s a misnomer that those in church are just like the world. How many times have you heard that couples in church have the same divorce rate as those out of church? Or pornography consumption is just as high in the church as our of the church? Multiple studies disprove this by bifurcating “identifies as Christian” vs “regular church-going Christian.” Essentially, those that identify as Christian almost identically resemble the world on every major issue. Christians that regularly attend church have lower divorce rates, fewer instances of depression, and experience less sexual abuse.
Going to church matters. Statistically speaking it changes you. Take a listen:
When you read and totally understand all the things the Bible tells us about the end time and look at the times of each and then look at what is happening today. Are you ready? We don't know the hour or the day but we do know the season. This is the season a and ALL of our children and friends need to be sharing this and getting the word out. Erick, are you familiar with the Council of Foreign Relations or the Tri-Lateral Commission? Then find out and you will understand a lot more than any person you know. I studied them over 30years ago and now see all that I learned happening right now in my 87 years of life.
Blessings
I am very much enjoying these Erick. I am surprised at how often what you are "teaching" here compliments my teaching. And even more importantly, you cause me to think beyond where I am. This is a gift of your to do this and a gift to me. Thank you.
