Purely secular advice. In Roman’s chapter one, Paul wrote “so God gave them over to their own desires “. He let them do what they wanted. It doesn’t turn out well…
Thank you for this post. I have read that book, and I had a similar reaction that you did. If I "let them" referring to my two children, I honestly wonder what they would have turned out like. They may not be perfect, and neither am I, far from. But my call as a mother and as a Christian tells me to ward off Satan and to guide my children to the path of righteousness. Good grief, what is the role of a parent, if not that? My family growing up, where I was the youngest of seven kids, wasn't super strict, but I was raised to know the difference between right and wrong. If you know any Catholics, like me, you know about guilt. I am grateful for that upbringing, and the advice and counsel of family, friends and parents who drew lines. Amen to them.
You are so right. If people today believed Romans chapter one, the world would be a different place. Therefore, we will go and make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey all that He has commanded us.
