Do We Need The Church To Save Our Children? Repost
Written by Nichelle at 11:48 am
I went to church over the weekend and the pastor preached a great sermon and it touched me. He said that the parent of his generation and ours prayed for their kids. He said and even after you got grown no matter how late you stayed out you was getting up and going to church on Sundays. And that made me think about how I was in church three to four nights a week growing up and it was not an option. It was instilled in me, and even though I’m very absent from the church I walk in life with the values that was embedded in me. It didn’t part from as I got older, and the bible says train a child in the way they should go and it shall not part them.
Our generation of children where made to go church, our mother prayed for us and taught us values and respect. I was made to say my prayer every night before I went to bed. My how things have changed, I thought about my own children and how we don’t go to church often, as we should. However I do teach my kids values and respect I still felt what he was saying to us was the honest to God truth. He said that’s why these kids are so messed up; there not in church they don’t fear the Lord, they don’t fear their parents. The parents are not getting on there knees and praying for there kids, there not praying with there kids. And I know he’s right, I pray every night but I can count on one hand how many times I sat down and prayed for them only. Or even had a talk with God about keeping them from gangs, drugs and the foolishness out here. My daughter is five and my son is ten, so it didn’t dawn on me I needed to start doing this until I went to Church that day. It’s never too early to start and never to late to begin. I do feel that since we have taken our own selves out the church to do what we wanted to do, our kids have suffered what do you guys think.
Do you feel like the kids are the way they are because we have stopped the church and the praying?

Nope!
you need the parents to save their own damn children.They brought them in this world for what reason? to let them hang loose.I was watching maury the other day about the teenage girls having unprotected sex to have babies,and the mother is literary afraid of her own child, my question is how does a parent get to that point. I dont condone spanking but i got spanked and boy did it do a number on me. Church is place of pray,politics and hyprocrisy, the home should be a shield,protection,and advice. if they are not getting it at home, the streets or church is not the answer.
Yes I agree with you but I believe in a azz beating sorry I don’t spare the rod in my house, I agree that church can’t raise the kids, but I do feel whatever your belief is it should be instilled in your kids to a certain point. I do think we where better off because our parents did have some time belief that was pass down? did you go to church?
I did,but church is not for me. My spirituality is between god and i, not the pastor and the deacons. You took the beating to an extreme- I did not mention the rod.For some kids word of mouth does not cut or stand firm with them. I got spanked, and quickly learned not to do so. Believe me i had plenty of time to say “no” verbatim, it just didn’t stick to me. I do not regret getting beat.Getting spanked is not an traumatization or therapy persay for some kids, the talking is not good . The actual gruesome,blood in the floor is not what i meant.
@pprez I know that, I was saying I spank my kids I think more parents need to they out of control and talking to them alone is not working but I agree that nobody should be abused.
