Are We Impacting Our Culture Or Is Our Culture Impacting Us?

We are doing a family series at church. Part of it includes raising the next generation, and how it isn't just my responsibililty to only raise my children and you to raise yours. But as believers we have a joint responsibility to impact the children around us. The old saying: "it takes a village to raise a child", is true!

The culture is definitely making an impact on many many of those of us in the world and even in the church. Sadly, it's voice seems to be louder than most of the Christian's voices out there! I have written before about just taking a look around and we will see that there is much work to be done!

My heart has been breaking for our youth. They are surrounded with so many lies each and everyday. It is harder now for them than ever to take stands and do what is right. Where is the support and encouragement for doing right for them? Instead of encouraging they usually get made fun of, enticed more and just shunned. I hate it, it isn't right and even though it is an uphill battle I am trudging up the mountainside!

Jesus says in Luke 10:2 "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." There is an abudance of work to do, are you ready to join me in impacting a culture that is seeking to destroy us?

Working Together For His Glory,
Jennifer
