Thought For The Day

Vulnerable Kids

Lauren Frayer, Associated Press Writer in Baghdad, Iraq reported today, “Videotapes seized during U.S. raids on suspected al-Qaida in Iraq hide-outs show the terror group training young boys to kidnap and assassinate civilians, U.S. and Iraqi officials said Wednesday. “

We recoil in horror at such news, but the reality is that kids are products of their environment and training. They can be taught to steal and kill, even annihilate themselves and others in some false hope that they are serving God and righting wrongs.

Kids can be taught the Truth, learn God’s design for life, and become mighty men and women of valor in the Kingdom of God.

Kids can also be left to their own devices. Seldom or never involved in learning God’s Word and His purpose for life, their natural bent will draw them further and further from a life that is holy, and, often, left untrained as children, produce adults that miss abundant life and Heaven through the condemnation of sin.

What are you doing with your kids, for Heaven’s sake?
