ADVICE FOR SEEKING GOD'S WAY....Is GOD behind your couch shaking?

Is God shaking because there are driveby shootings, kids in grade school packing guns, violence all around, and kids in turmoil? I don't think so. Is God behind your couch? Is He hiding? No, not at all! Where is God in your home? Well, He is exactly where YOU put Him!I am not talking about your religious affiliation, or your churches doctrine. I am speaking of values, morals, and what we are teaching our children. There is much, much more to the simple statement "God-fearing" that most people realize. Our country was founded on these principals, but somehow we have slipped away from them.When we fear God, we try not to displease Him, right? What is wrong with trying to do the right thing, or treating people like we would like to be treated? What is wrong with doing to other people what we feel God would do? NOTHING! NOTHING! NOTHING! But we have become a feel-good nation of people, and we certainly like to blame society, or the times, or "kids today", but we have not alluded to the fact that WE are society, and WE are the ones our children learn the most from, and WE are the ones that raised them.Have you ever heard the old saying "It takes a whole Nation to raise a child"? How profound, and how true! So, even if you don't have any children, you are still raising them. So shouldn't we all try to be "God fearing"? Of course we should, but noone wants to hear that. And when we try to speak up, we are accused of "preaching", or not being politically correct. It is time to speak up, speak out, and practice what we preach!We all have choices, and we live in a free country where we can execute these choices at our will. What will YOU choose? Will you let your children think that morals are whatever they think makes them feel good? Will you let them think shooting someone you don't like is ok, if you want to? Will you let them think its ok to turn your back on someone in need, or to do what you want, when you want, no matter who it hurts?Choose what you will, teach what you want. What was your name again? Oh yeah, you are "society", and "they", or "them", and you are "the village". Now what will your choices be????
