you said "...there are so many of them who were heavily indoctrinated and even coerced into saying the right words...I have heard them speak differently out of hearing range of their indoctrinators..." i have worked with thousands of children, both in christian and non christian environments. and yes, it is true that some children are indoctrinated, but i could not begin to count the number of children i have seen glowing with God's grace and glory, because they can accept His love as it should be accepted, as a GIFT. they know they can do nothing to deserve it, but that God loves them no matter what. many of the kids i have spoken with were "out of hearing range of their indoctrinators..." and still they were so overflowing with praise and love that was so pure it could only come from one place, Our Lord and Saviour. i, for one, prefer to see the glass as half-full, and to live my life for my Jesus and to see Him in everyone i meet...cause there is no one too far gone for Jesus to save... honesty is being willing to give up and let God into the driver's seat... cause He is a better driver than we could ever attempt to be... In His Love and Grace, which is never-ending, scott |
