Satan has distracted us...May I add a few of my own? Satan has distracted us from a lot of Biblical teachings by tempting us to nit-pick about inconsequential things while ideas of the world have crept in the back door. Consequently the family is falling apart even in holiness churches.<br /><br />1. Marriage - It used to be sacred. The only cause for divorce found in the Bible is adultery, and yet there are many people who think nothing of divorcing for any cause, even in conservative holiness churches.<br /><br />2. Children - The Bible tells us that children are a blessing from the Lord. It saddens and angers me the comments I hear from Christian mothers on how they can't wait for school to start so they don't have to deal with their children all day. It is our God-given responsibility to raise and train our children. The world's view on children has definitely crept into the church.<br /><br />3. Wives/mothers - We are commanded in the Bible to be keepers at home. I'm won't go so far as to say that a mother should not work outside the home, but she must still keep her home and family her priority. (Easier said than done.)<br /><br />4. Husbands - "Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it." Don't see a lot of this any more.<br /><br />5. Modesty - to add to your clothing issue. I have seen a lot of people covered and still not modest.<br /><br />Just a few that concern me recently.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239852784315607515noreply@blogger.com
