Two things have profoundly impacted me lately and I am encouraged to act. I am not completely sure what form my action will take but I wanted to “put it out there”.
The first event was the Sunday morning (12/26/10) lesson at our church New Hope Christian Fellowship by my friend Dewey Bertolini. I was hoping to put a link to his message here but it does not appear to be up yet maybe by the time you click it will be there.
The other thing was a simple paragraph in a book I just finished by Betsy Hart called “It Takes a Parent”.
“We can’t keep the world out of our homes, even if we turn off the TV, don’t watch movies, make our girls dress in long skirts, and homeschool our kids. Those might all be good things, but they will not keep sin out of the heart. And if they lead to false complacency or, worse, self-righteousness, they will be destructive influences for out kids.”
I have so much I want to write but my 2 boys really need some guidance right now. Thanks for checking in, I hope to be back this evening to expound a bit more.
