Do you still act like a child?

1Cor13:11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a
child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I did away with
childish things. Eph6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger [do
not exasperate them to the point of resentment with demands that are
trivial or unreasonable or humiliating or abusive; nor by showing
favoritism or indifference to any of them], but bring them up [tenderly,
with lovingkindness] in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

There are many in our society that are not ready to grow up. There are

children having children and are not ready or do not understand the

responsibilities that go along with being a parent. As we look into the

Bible, we see how a father is to raise up their child, "in the discipline

and instruction of the Lord". I know that for me, it was church on Sunday

and the rest of the week doing whatever I wanted. Responsibility is not

easy, especially if you were never taught it. I still have some of my

childhood toys, but they are not for me to play with, my grandchildren are

playing with them. I am not sure how to reach this generation that is

distracted by the video culture, but through prayer, I am confident God

will help.
