IT IS NOT TOO LATE
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Proverbs 22:6 (King James Version)
Three years ago, I received an email from someone who wrote "I wasn't saved when my children were little so I didn't tell them about Jesus". For those parents who were not Christians when their children were growing up, it is not too late to tell them about Jesus now.
It doesn't matter how old your children are they are still your children. You still have the responsibility and the privilege to not only tell them about Jesus but also to live your life so they will see Jesus in you and know that you love Him. It is never too late to tell your children and grandchildren about Jesus.
I heard Gloria Gaither say this on one of the Homecoming shows. "I taught my children to write thank you notes and told them to brush their teeth and make their beds. I took them to Little League and to the dentist but when did I tell them about Jesus and the things that will last for eternity?"
There are some families who turn on the television as soon as they get up and don't turn it off until they go to bed. The television has become a babysitter. Not only has it become a babysitter, it has also caused children to turn to violence and has allowed pornography to invade their families.
One teenage boy made this comment while watching a show on television that was about killing people. "Boy, that looks cool." One day, we will stand before a Holy God and give an account as to why we allowed our children to watch violence and sex scenes on television. May God have mercy on us!
