This is Shen YL personal journal

21 Oct 2007.

The sermon, today warn me of the risk of letting the guarded faith of Christianity slip away in future generations that do not know the Lord personally.

Just as Martin, Kus and Wycliff - stands up to make the Bible readable to the commoners, today we too need to ensure that the Bible remains open to all who desire to read the Bible.

The problem is not always that the parent failed to train the child in the way of the Lord, but that the world has a better method to train children in the way of the world. The lure from the world system is always a big draw for many of this world. When a child of a christian family falls away it is often the job of pointing finger at the parent solely. Yes, if the parent has not done their role. But if they do, it still does not guaranteed that the child will not be lured away. Each person ultimately is responsible for their own sins. This is often not spoken off in sermons, but rather the easy finger pointing to parents. But it is good that the perfect judge is God and not men.

If you have done your job, trust in the Lord, and don't let these types of stereotyping sermons depresses you.
