Last night my mom and I were watching a TLC show about a family of 13 kids, and one daughter had to be asked to leave because she had completely turned away from what her parents had taught hert growing up, everything they had ever told her not to do, she had started to do. So I was thinking about this, and I could'nt help but wonder, these kids are very sheltered, if you shelter your kid from all the bad things of this world, and never talk about them, and then they find out about all this stuff from their friends, will that make them more suceptible to all this stuff? You know, will they want to try all this stuff out that they were always sheltered from, will they be curious about everthing they were never allowed to do when they get out of the house? I asked my mom about this, and she told me that usualy it was'nt the being sheltered from this stuff tha made them want to try it, but rebellion in their heart. Well that made sense, but did that have to be the rule for everyone? My gears were still turning, and you know how teens are, they want to think that they know everything and believe that they are always right, so I did'nt accept mom's ideas right away, I was still thinking about it Today mom called me over and gave me the latest TOS magazine to read. She wanted me to read an article by Ken Ham on sheltering your kids, so I did, it was loooong, but I read it. It was very interesting and it convinced me. He backed up everything he said with scripture. He talked about everything from sheltering your kids from public school to the friends they have, and he also covered the age old complaint about your kids getting no socialization and never being able to socialize when they grow up, He talked about being the salt of the earth, and how your kids can't be the salt of the earth if they are being corrupted because you do'nt want to shelter your kids and "cripple" them. All in all, I am won over, and I think you guys should read some of Ken Ham's stuff, he's a cool guy! |
