A Culture Of Disrespect

Are You Raising Children in This Culture of Disrespect?

Every day, I love watching the wildlife that have taken a fancy to the rolling green pastures located behind our home. 

Besides the hawks, herons, and deer, it’s also a blast to see cows grazing in those fields.

I know that the beauty of our surroundings comes from our Creator God and I will never take it for granted.

And, now that spring has sprung, the mama cows are birthing babies.

The calves chasing each other at mealtime are a hilarious sight to see.

Unfortunately, vultures are out there too. 

Recently, a friend of ours posted about an awful scene that she witnessed.

Several vultures were attacking one of the newborn calves.

The mother cow by herself wasn’t able to defend her baby.

Someone called the ranch owner for help.

The thought of that defenseless young calf in jeopardy makes me think about our younger generation today.

A stretch?

No, I don’t think so.

Satanic “vultures” are out, and they’re going after any semblance of Biblical family values that our great country has left.

A Growing Culture of Disrespect

Parents – your child’s innocence is under threat, often without your knowing about it.

Know what your kids are exposed to

Be on guard and protective, not only regarding what your kids watch on social media and TV, but also what they’re exposed to in some public schools.

Here’s an alarming example, and also here.

Cases like these are becoming more widespread. 

Of all the social institutions designed by God, I suppose none is under greater attack than the family. This shouldn’t surprise us, for destroying relationships is the ultimate scheme of Satan and it is here we find the most intimate. Indeed, it seems that the entirety of the world, the flesh, and the enemy are today aligned against the biblical family. And the family is the heart of a culture.Dr. Del Tackett, Christian author. Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

Your children need your guidance to face the bombardment of confusing messages they’re receiving from just about everywhere. Don’t leave it up to other people.

Disrespect For God’s Design

Culture of disrespect

In one disturbing headline, a female singer is getting press because she wants to change her identifying pronoun.

It’s not like she’s alone in that kind of thinking.

Social media giants like Pinterest and Facebook, for example, are asking people which pronoun they want to use when they sign up. 

It’s all very bizarre and a reflection of how far and rapidly we’ve sunk.

And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we must answer.Hebrews 4:13, (NASB).

depression rates among you are rising

Father God, please protect our younger generation.

Without any boundaries, or any realization of how valuable they are to God as they are – kids are tempted and encouraged to follow the world’s lusts and desires every single day.

Unsurpassed Joy

We are backsliding into a Sodom and Gomorrah-like society where almost anything goes.

I do enough research to know that the vultures are not done.

Does anyone really think it will stop here?

No, it will get much, much worse.

Thankfully, there is an eternal way out of this someday.

The “when” is up to God.

He alone knows the number of our days.

Some day in the future, Christians will breathe a sigh of relief because all of this demonically-inspired evil will disappear.

At that future time, we can look forward to praising and delighting in God forever. 

We will have unsurpassed joy.

God is our Father and He cares about His children – that includes you and me.

No headlines glorifying evil will ever distract us again.

Frankly, when the doers mess with us, they’re messing with Him.

How do we live in a culture like this, dear Remnant? Stand strong and do not lose hope. Stay true to God’s Word. Be the Virtuous Female or the Noble Male. Concentrate on building and nurturing your family with a fierce determination, for the attacks of the enemy here are ever-present and relentless.Dr. Del Tackett, Christian author, Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

God Sees Everything

god-sees-and-hears-everything

God sees everything.

Not just some stuff, but all of the happenings in our lives – big and small.

Did your mom ever tell you that she had “eyes in the back of her head?”

Nothing escapes her attention where her kiddos are concerned, right? 

In reality, there is only One, our Heavenly Father, who sees and knows all.

Hebrews 4:13 tells us:

13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable. – Scripture quotation is from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright ©1996, 2004, 2007 by Tyndale House Foundation.

Nothing escapes God, especially when we’re, let’s just say, misbehavin’.

We can’t outsmart God.

No matter how hard we may try.

Silly Humans, Indeed

I have to tell you about one of the hilarious antics of one of our Siberian Huskies, a beloved member of our family.

mischievous-husky

Chip was a gorgeous boy. As loveable as he was, he was also very mischievous. He did something once that was so funny it still cracks us up every time we think about it.

A few years ago, my husband and I had to run some errands and decided to leave our dogs loose in the house, instead of in their crates.

We locked up the house like Fort Knox. We closed all doors, blocked off a hallway, positioned baby gates so Chip and our female husky, Misha, had free run of the kitchen and hallway.

My husband and I left for an hour and then came back home, hoping to find two sleeping Siberian Huskies who kept their promise to “be good” while we were gone.

I walked in the house first.

The hallway looked clear of any debris from a canine free-for-all. Yay!

The dogs were very excited to see us. So far, so good.

I got a little further down the hall, and then I saw it.

Ruh Roh, Not Good
 
Peeled bananas were all over the floor.

Peeled!

like-nothing-happenedApparently, Chip grabbed a bunch of bananas off our kitchen counter, ate a few, and gave some to his girlfriend. Those two rascals had a dinner party and left the whole bunch of banana peels all over the floor for us to clean.

Worse yet, they tried to outsmart us, greeted us at the door and acted like nothing had happened.

My husband and I look back now and laugh.

Oh, how we wish we had a video camera that recorded their hi-jinks while we were gone.

The evidence of their little escapade was everywhere.

God sees everything, no video camera needed

God knows us, better than we know ourselves.

He sees it when you curse out that person on the interstate or get into that heated argument with your son or daughter.

And yet, despite it all, He still loves us and convicts us of our sins.

God sees everything

All of those white lies, secret sins, all of it – God sees and hears, and yet, He wants us to come into a relationship with Him. Wretched sinners that we are, if we ask for His forgiveness, He hears us.

We need to be honest with God.

All He asks is for us to repent and trust in the only way to eternal life, salvation through His Son.

Blessings!
