Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it: his bottle, his mother's attention, his playmate's toys, his uncle's watch, or whatever. Deny him these and he seethes with rage and aggressiveness which would be murderous were he not so helpless. He's dirty, he has no morals, no knowledge, no developed skills. This means that all children, not just certain children but all children, are born delinquent. If permitted to continue in their self-centered world of infancy, given free reign to their impulsive actions to satisfy each want, every child would grow up a criminal, a thief, a killer, a rapist.
This is Finder.
just read your blog and caught up a little bit. the post about your leaving the one school and teaching in public for awhile was interesting. another thing that comes from this is that money isn't everything - and yet money is very necessary for daily living. Our pastor says "God has promised to supply all of your needs, but He doesn't necessarily have to use your paycheck to do it."
ReplyDeleteWe went through very rough financial times/ job changes while living in Lafayette for 8 years - sometimes it seemed the trial would never end. But we kept trusting, and God brought us out into a new ministry and it is Amazing how He has provided for everything and more since we dedicated to do this work by faith. Way way better than any of the secular jobs ever went. And because of the great trial in the other, His goodness is magnified now. We serve a GREAT GOd - no, THE GREAT GOD!
Absolutely true. That is what we have decided to do.
ReplyDeleteMy big struggle is deciding what to do... We are hoping that we have made the right decision, and we have already had some things happen to help us believe that it is the right decision.
Thank you for your words of encouragement.
