I shared a post about the importance of having children go to church on a “Marriage Site” the other day, 

One of the people responded with this – 

“Gotta start that cult like brain washing at an early age.” 

I took a day to mull it over and this is my reply – 

Hi K****, no loving parent tries to brain wash their children, 

if we want that to happen we simple do not train them, 

we allow our culture to do the brainwashing. 

We let them sit in front of iPads and smart phones, 

watch Netflix, listen to the morals of Hollywood, 

send them to God hating, liberal colleges 

and simply absorb the darkness of this evil and perverse generation, 

which has a full press on to socially engineer the children. 

I remember the old Bob Dylan song, 

"You're gonna have to serve somebody

Well, it may be the Devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody." 

No doubt the pure message of Christ and His love for us has been distorted by many, 

but my greatest sorrow was 

that I wasn't brought up in a Christian home.

What a horrible thing for a child to face life without knowing they are loved with an everlasting love, and are held up by His everlasting arms. 

To rob a child of the security, the warmth and nurture of Christ's love for children is among the most brazen things a parent can do in my opinion. 

Every child deserves to know 

God's love endures forever, 

His angels watch over them, 

Christ's forgiveness envelopes them, 

and the Holy Spirit guides and protects them. 

Children naturally are drawn to the love of Jesus, 

and what greater reward in life than to see our innocent children 

mature into virtuous teens, 

and then into men and women of character, integrity becoming adults that leave this world better for them having been in it.
