The Latest Rage in Children's Culture

Greetings from Me and My House,

OK, hopefully not in OUR children's society! But with the movie just released, and predicted to be a blockbuster, this is definitely the hot topic again - like it was when the books were introduced. And our children will probably face it if they have any contact with the world.

As an LED subject, it has to do with leading and instructing them in righteousness. Knowing why we stand up for what we believe, and don't just do all the things the world thinks are really cool - even if the graphics are smashing, the story telling captivating, and it's "just entertainment".

I think Steve's message (link below), handles it quite well and Scripturally.

The ABC's ??

Greetings from Me and My House,

I trust that your teaching and training are going smoothly in your homes.

A topic that God has brought to my attention AGAIN is not the ABC's, but the FVK's. His Word says "line upon line, precept upon precept..." and I think we often lose sight of that. I go back again to Life's Curriculum (in 2 Peter 1:4-12) "add to your Faith Virtue, to Virtue Knowledge..."

Is our Family Faith-training (devotions) consistent? Is the Word and Prayer paramount in our home? Are our children (and us!) growing into deeper love, worship, and service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

What about our family's character? Is there evidence that they (and we!) are becoming more like Jesus? Are we taking on His character and showing Him and His ways to this lost world? Are we parents being consistent and relentless in discipling our children in this?

Only then, do we have the cornerstones set and a rock of a foundation upon which to build a solid structure of learning knowledge. Knowledge learned without this solid foundation will be the shaky, inconsistant knowledge of the world that will not stand and is the kind of knowledge that "puffs up", bringing pride into the heart for "knowing" so much, that pride that comes before the fall.

Let's work diligently at giving our children a solid foundation that withstands the storms this world throws at them by building "line upon line" as we train them in FVK.

At Jesus' feet,
Lisa
