2 Timothy 3: 1-4
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
As we examine this bible text, we cannot but see in our world these kinds of dispositions all around us, for surely we are living in the last days of earth’s history.
Parental Responsibilities
A sacred trust is committed to parents, to guard the physical and moral constitution of their children.
Why should fathers and mothers understand the laws of life? For our battle in life is not with one another but with Satan the enemy of us all. Look at the Bible Text Ephesians 6: 12.
Satan is working with great power to lead us all to indulge appetite, gratify inclination, and spend our days in heedless amusements. Parents need to be impressed with their obligation to give to the world children having well-developed characters.
Mothers Should Inform Themselves on Laws of Heredity—In past generations, if mothers had informed themselves in regard to the laws of their being, they would have understood that their constitutional strength, as well as the tone of their morals and their mental faculties, would in a great measure be represented in their offspring. Their ignorance upon this subject, where so much is involved, could be misconstrued as criminal.
