Kids Will Be Kids ....

I was rather upset by the way some parents failed to discipline their kids and teach them the ways of God in Church today.

I wonder why they allow their kids to be noisy at church services when we should be teaching them a reverence and awe of God from young. Also, why do they not teach their kids that it is rude to eat other people's food without permission ... no table manners? Also, do we allow kids to jump in the car from the front to back without being belted? Sigh ....

In the recent days, God has been teaching me much about the Father's heart. What do you think of all these matters, God? Does it grieve you when your children live in such insecurity and self-centeredness and do not train their kids in the instruction and fear of the Lord? How then we do we say that kids are a gift from God when we do not take time to discipline them and nurture them to be more and more like Christ? How can they then be like sharpened arrows being shot out from the quiver .... ?
