There is nothing quite so precious as a beaming smile lighting up a child’s face. In a morally bankrupt world, it is our duty to ensure that Jesus’ little ones have reason to smile. It is imperative that we protect children. Evil is everywhere, seeking to destroy children’s bodies and souls. Jesus condemned those seeking to do children harm:
Luke 17:1-2 King James Version:
1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Jesus taught us to treasure the divine gift of innocence. God’s children view his creation with eyes of wonder. His many blessings bring them so much happiness. A toddler reacts with squeals of delight at her puppy’s playfulness. Upon finding a perfect flower, a little boy rushes to share its beauty with his mother.
The protection of this innocence, as entrusted to us by the Lord, is a sacred obligation. We need to take it as such. Our homes, neighborhoods and countries need to promote loving, safe environments for our children. Governments and Religious “Leaders” need to step up and offer concrete solutions to the issues of child endangerment. Swift judgement and punishments need to be doled out. Justice needs to be served.
Our natural reaction to a sobbing child needs to be one of comfort, not condemnation. We do not respond to their actions with a “I’ll give you something to cry about…” That is ungodly, Jesus would never speak to his child that way. When a child is lost, we need to step in and help locate their parent. Each foster parent’s background needs to be completely investigated before a child is placed with them. In this day and age, that very action could save a child’s life.
Children need gentle guidance. They are often misled by the mostly ungodly choices offered up by most television programming, movies and online streaming services like Netflix. Materialistic mindsets and dangerous challenges are promoted by a lot of “social influencers” on TikTok. The occultic music industry threatens our children’s very souls. Beyonce, is one truly evil example of this, singing proudly about soaking up her menstrual blood with the pages of the Bible. Were you aware of this filth? Do you listen to your children’s music? Stop helping to promote evil. God condemns celebrity worship:
1 John 5:21 KJV
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
We must monitor children’s presence on, and use of, the internet. Are they spending too much time on their phones, and not enough time in the company of God and family? Put a stop to it, you set the example. Get to know their friends (What are their behaviors like? Children mimic one other). That is not to say that we reject children who need love and guidance. However, continually toxic relationships, with no solution in sight, are truly dangerous.
So, how do we combat these attacks against our children? Study The Bible daily with them, pray and model Christian behavior toward others. Get involved in your children’s schools, volunteer or donate to worthy causes (If able), be an outspoken voice for children’s safety on social media. Every one of us has the ability to make a difference. For those of you without children, please look out for others’.
We are surely not perfect, all of us sin daily. However, God’s wrath is upon those who purposefully prey on children and lead them down a wicked path. For them, there is a special place in Hell.
God is watching. You can count on that.
