Let us not be shallow any longer, but let us dig deep and allow God's Word and Spirit to reveal our heart condition.
For it is written:
Heb 4:12-13
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
KJV
We can fool ourselves, but not God, He sees all!
Now let's dig,
Do you pass down sinful ways to your children that keep them in bondage for life by suffering from the consequences of their actions?
Many would say NO, I would not ever think of teaching my child to sin that is evil and I love my children and we are GOOD PEOPLE!
Let's look at some of the ways that may not be seen by our darkened eye. But once the light shines on them, maybe we will recognize them after all.
Do you ever say to them:
1. Just tell them that daddy/mommy is not here, (learn from me of how to avoid your creditors after you have gotten what you wanted)
2. Daddy does not need to know about this, this is our little secret,( you can count on me to deceive your father for you, I am your trusted friend)
3. Don't worry, we will just tell the teacher that the dog ate your homework, (that way you can learn how to shirk your responsibilities in life by lying)
4. Look, the grocery store clerk gave us back the wrong change, now we have enough to go buy an ice cream cone, (to reward ourselves for our dishonesty for their poor mistake that may cost their job)
5. Hey, we will just say you are 5 so that you can get in for $5.00 instead of $10.00. (Just follow my lead son and I will show you how it is done, you won't ever need to pay fair wages again)
6. If we order the "all that you can eat" meal at the restaurant, then we can just share the meal and then ask for free refills and we can all eat for the price of 1.(boy can you believe this, they raised the prices on the all you can eat meal, how dare them!)
7. Watch me at work here son. Sir, I want to buy this item from you, but I notice it has some flaws, would you take $20.00 instead of $30.00? Sure, I can do that for you sir/mame. After we walk away we boast:
Wow! I can't wait to show all of my friends the deal I got on this GREAT PERFECT Item. (Did you see son, how easy that fool fell for my scam)
These are just a tiny example of the sin, and lack of love we show our children, teaching them how to do wrong for evil gain in this world.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you, because God is keeping score! And you will reap, exactly what you have sown in this life and the life to come. Some may call it Karma, but it is Almighty Gods law of sowing and reaping, and I am sure you have seen it work in yours or another’s life.
We all need to repent for planting these foul seeds into our children(generations, bloodline, family tree), because we all do it or have done it. and we shall eat the fruit of our lips from the seeds that we have planted.
Blessings
