The world, in one sense, is energized by Satan and he through it is out to destroy our children. Jay Younts identifies with parents in an honest look at the ultimate problem we face. Contrary to what we might believe, the biggest problem is not necessarily with the world.

“Let’s consider one basic question regarding the issue of protecting our children from the entrapment of the world: Why? As in Why do they want to sin? Why can’t they see that it is more blessed to give than to receive? Why can’t they see that they don’t always have to be first? Why can’t teenagers see that sexual sin is wrong, always wrong? Why can’t they see that parents must be obeyed? The answer, of course, should not really be a mystery.”

While the answer should not be a mystery, to many parents it is. And, even to those who have the answer, a poor memory or poorer application in this area are major problems. Consider Jay’s further probing: “How did children begin their lives? Many would have us think that our children begin life neutrally with regard to obedience. It is easy to think that if I, as a parent, would be more patient and kind my children would respond more quickly to my instructions. While it is true that parents should be patient and kind, that by itself will not help children to be more obedient. The problem goes much deeper than that.”

On today’s edition of “Calling for Truth,” we will answer the question, “Why do children want to sin?” We will then talk about what to do about it.
