The Death Of The Adult

Pro 13:20 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

Isa 3:12 My people--infants are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your guides mislead you and they have swallowed up the course of your paths.


The Death of The Adult

Peer pressure for adults? Children running the home? Youth pastors acting like foolish teenagers? Lack of discernment and the ability to say "no"? Expectation to have Mom and Dad room and board? Parents AFRAID of making their grown children leave their house? Men afraid of being leaders in their own homes? Children dictating what the dress code, behavior, and perhaps even doctrine or cirriculum or style, at church as well as home will be?

Welcome to America 2009.

Ingrid Schlueter talks about Diane West's book, " The Death of the Grown-Up: How America’s Arrested Development is Bringing Down Western Civilization".



Tit 2:1 But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine.
Tit 2:2 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.
Tit 2:3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good,
Tit 2:4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children,
Tit 2:5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
Tit 2:6 Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
