The Devotional - A Look at the Book #726
by Jesse Abel
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. John 1:1-2; have you ever given good time and thought about these first words in the first two verses of the gospel of John? Why is the word, Word capitalized and who is John speaking of when he writes “He” in verse two? The answer is… JESUS. Think about it! Because this is TRUTH it makes void all RELIGIONS that exist in the world TODAY.
The average young person of nine through eighteen will listen to a minimum of ten thousand hours of this span of life listening to hard rock music. This is an estimate of twenty years ago and now children are brought into this arena at a much younger age as these young people who are in their twenties now consider it normal to plug in their child, rather than raise them up.
The plug-ins have become wireless through things like MP3, cell phones and other gadgets. Now I am not opposed to technology, but I am opposed to the aim that liberal media has taken to purposely destroy the young minds of our children. Twenty years ago the amount of time wasted in this age group listening to this kind of music was 500 to a 1,000 hours shy of the total amount of time spent in school from the first through the twelfth grade.
Today the average child spends more time with text messages, cellular phone talking and taking pictures then the average business person does as they go through a normal work day. Now add the time listening to music and you plainly see that the time of a child is not only wasted in this technological environment, it is also very evil. You could be thinking! How does all of this play out in the large scheme of things?
The battle for control of our children is very real and the devil is driving that alternate life-style school bus. We let our children on board that bus daily because we fail to control and disciple them.
Now here is a rub! How many of parents out there have placed the Holy Bible on those devices and how many parents love their children as God has designed? (Now I did not say that you do not love your child, I said; how many love them in accordance with the Living Word of God?) Give your children the opportunity to grow up as Proverbs 22:5-6 challenges parents to do. We cannot control technology, but we can control what is put into the mind of our young people.
Consider This
