Failing our youth

Do they then accept or do they reject them? At least by teaching them you have led them to make a stand as what they will accept. Either way, you have to respect their final decisions regarding faith or else you will loose them and you do not want to do that. Consider the story of the Father and the wayward son.
My brother, I consider that story as Jesus identifying the Father G-D’s personality character… one that doesn’t push or make demands but is always patient & loving, just waiting for reality to sink into his sons understanding. I’m content to wait for my own son’s recovery to what is real and what isn’t real. Your putting in the time is all important and I applaud you for that.
Some accept. I guess some don't.
So then, do you consider that ‘Free Will?’
Have they asked you to help…. If not, why not? Have you examined this?
I consider it some are elect and some are not .
I agree
If I could address the generation of people...
7 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord, that he did for Israel.
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. – Judges 2
I see another generation arising in the land. We have a kiosk at work with walls of things to eat. They must load a card for purchases. For decades we all would purchase the food we would take from the walls. With this new generation…
1. They do not mind stealing the food without paying for it
2. They prefer playing on their cell phone while others work on the machinery
3. They can leave after eight hours without doing a thing
4. On the news they have no regard for the shedding of innocent blood
5. They have a strong sense of entitlement…. But no work ethic
I have not said anything to anyone about this and do not know how to handle it. I would tell them if the company shuts the doors it would be because of the poor quality of people these days.
