Staying Together for the Kids’ Sake

On a gushing Facebook post, a parent proudly proclaims with an abundance of heart emojis, “I love my kids to the moon and back!” Do you, really?

Scrolling through Facebook, I sometimes see a Christian friend whose wife does not look the same as I remember her, or else she has mysteriously disappeared from all of his pictures. I then realize that his old wife is gone. Divorce has struck another home! It breaks my heart to see so many marriages dissolving within the body of Christ.

At the end of the day, the adults will give an account to God for their choices. However, what bothers me the most is the blank, hurt looks on the faces of their children.

By Filings on Wed, 02/04/26
Body

“Children don’t remain credulous forever. Beliefs mature. When they do, they usually abandon beliefs in Santa, but they are far more likely to keep believing in Jesus. Our calling is to guide them from childlike credulity to mature conviction, helping them discard what’s false while rooting them deeply in the truth.” - CPPL
