You went to the neighbors house when you were a kid. They shared the same values as your parents so you were safe at their house. You learned a lot of important things over at their house. Now that you’re grown-up and have some kids of your own, you’re sending your kids to the neighbors so they’ll have the same happy, healthy childhood that you experienced.
Recently, you’ve heard rumors about what goes on at the neighbor’s house. The neighbors show videos that you don’t let your kids watch at home. They taught your kids that men can get pregnant. They invited some drag queens to read books to your kids. And they told your kids that character is determined by the color of a person’s skin. One of the neighbors was arrested but is back at the house now.
When you ask the neighbors to deny the rumors, they get defensive. “Are you doubting our good intentions?” they ask. “That hurts! We love your children and would never do anything to harm them.”
Some other parents have told you that they’re uncomfortable leaving their kids alone with the neighbors. “Things are different at the neighbors house,” they say. “It’s not like it was when we were kids.”
My question for you is…Why would you keep sending your kids to the neighbors house?
(Psalm 78:3) …what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.
