Why Our Children Are Disrespectful

I realize this may be an offensive picture to some, and it may be a 'funny' picture to others. To me, it's representative of an attitude that has 'surpassed' Godliness and become it's own god in trying to right the wrongs of our nation.

There is a definite line that's been crossed in the Christian community - that of being respectful and fighting for righteousness versus being disrespectful and unGodly. This image was posted on the Facebook wall of a Christian - the white wash was added before posting to this message.

Do we have to wonder why our children are disrespectful when parents put this kind of message out for our kids and the world to see? This does not breed educated, thinking adults; it breeds contempt and ignorance.

If we are fighting for righteousness, it cannot be established with an unrighteous attitude. If our goal is to bring Godliness into our nation, name calling and degrading is not the way to do it. Stick with the issues.

I am not a defender of the wrongs and unGodliness being done in our country, but know that being an honor student doesn't bring about righteousness and the ability to run a country as a nation under God. In fact, many of our past and current leaders graduated from law school with honors - including our current president.

We are not fighting people, but principalities who use people. Let us not become used of the principalities, but let us be those who stand for righteousness and operate at the highest standards of respect and wisdom.
