It's sad. Really sad! How many Christians know what they should believe and do what they want anyway? How many know they shouldn't be looking at those pictures on the internet? Or spending the night with a man who isn't her husband? Why can't we live together first to see if we are compatible? Why can't I get that tattoo or that piercing? Why can't I go to public school like my neighbor friends?
There are many reasons why WE, our family, do not do particular things. Mostly because we are instructed in the Bible that these are prohibited. However, there are SO many circumstances that are not clear. What do we do in those cases? Especially when it involves our children and how we raise them. Sometimes, we have to look at the whole picture. It isn't easy. It isn't easy to explain to our children what and why we are choosing to do this (insert your own scenario). We do our best to explain things to our children and the older they get, the more... defiant they can be. Even those who are doing their best to raise Godly children have to be careful how they approach these situations. Sometimes we have to do what we believe is right in the eyes of the Lord, even if their answer is, "I understand, I just don't care!"
