My Thoughts

Why must my daughter's boyfriends attend church?

The community of the Bible is the place I want my children to live.
1. No murder. It is a great relief to think of the city where there is no murder. I wouldn't mind letting my daughter stay out until midnight knowing she will be safe.

2. No adultery. This means I can rest safe knowing she won't be raped or stolen into sex slavery, as we in Cleveland know too well in 2013.
3. No stealing. She won't be robbed of anything she has, not at knife point or gun point. She and her stuff will be safe.
4. No lying. She won't be swindled into starting something that would be bad for her or into a scheme that looks like an investment.
5. No coveting. She will not come home feeling unsatisfied because she doesn't have the latest Gucci handbag.

That's the type of community I want my daughter to live in and to get there the first 5 commandments are necessary.

1. Love The Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul.
2. Put no idols before God. (Not sex, drugs, fame and fortune)
3. Honor God's name
4. Honor the Lord's day. (Yes, attending church is important)
5. Honor your father and mother.

This is how I want my kids to live. Everything else ends in separation, pain and sorrow.

OKay, there might not be a city on this earth like this, but it's my prayer that all my children will live in homes with families of their own that will be like this. It can be done and it all starts with knowing God and dating those who know and love God too.
