In those days, when God was more prevalent in our lives, even those who did not want to be a Christian had good morals. We didn’t even know people used drugs for anything except sickness.

for sure, alcohol was not a socially accepted beverage.

Children didn’t have babies or run around killing other children.

Growing up I never asked, “Are we going to Church,” I knew we were going. It never entered my mind to think different.

I know my parents were not perfect , but I thank God they raised me up in a Christian household. They couldn’t force me to get saved, but they sure could force me to be in the place to get the training and opportunity.

It’s the strangest thing to me that parents insist on their children going to public school, and that’s good, but public school is just for this life. Now children get to choose if they want to go to Sunday School and church or not, and those things are eternal. Forever.

The Bible says, “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers and its flower falls away, But the word of the Lord endures forever” [1 Peter 1:24].

Eternity is forever. In my thinking, if I had a choice of what to prepare my children for, I think — no, I know — I’d prepare them for the long haul.

Sometimes, we get so caught up in the things of this life we forget about what is really important. What are you preparing your children for? If you don’t train your children , someone else will.
