A Greater Commitment to Training Up Our Children

Hello My Sisters,

I've been thinking on the scandals of AIG and Bernie Madoff. I ask the question, how can these excutives wake up in the morning with a clear concious? I've concluded:

1. The don't recognize the existence and presence of God in their lives.
2. They have replaced their love for God with a love for money.
3. They are ignorant to, have forgotten, or right out turned a blind ear to Christ Commandment, that we love one another as he has loved us.

If my conclusions are the root causes of bad leadership, what then is the answer for producing better leaders for tomorrow.

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

I would like to encourage you my sisters to invest with greater fervor into the lives and characters of your children. The leaders of today are products of their own home training. Yes, some will go a stray and it will be expedient for us to keep them in prayer. But, If we believe in the infallible word of God, then we believe that if we do what it says, God will bring about the rewards that He promises.

Train them up to:
1. Recognize God and the significance he should have in their lives
2. Recognize that God is the giver of every good and perfect gift. He rewards those that deligently seek him.
3. We are commanded to love one another. In doing so, we show forth our love for him.
