"Violence in Schools"

Scripture Reading:
Proverbs 8:32-33  (HCSB)   “And now, my sons, listen to me; those who keep my ways are happy.  Listen to instruction and be wise; don’t ignore it..."

Devotional Reading:

The twentieth century was a time of radical change in our education system. A study done of the Fullerton, California, School System compared the problems in the 1940's to the 1980's and the differences were astounding. In the forties, the major problems with students were truancy, running in the halls, talking in class, and chewing gum. In the eighties the major problems included teenage pregnancy, violence, stealing, rape, bringing knives and guns to school, drug abuse and vandalism. And with the recent school shootings, the problems are even worse.  When we hear results like this, we realize the tremendous decline of values in our overall society. I encourage you to look to the Ten Commandments. The fact is, you can't find better guidance for teaching our children how to live a successful life and how to care for their fellow man than the Big Ten. And why not begin by teaching them to your own children? Society will be a better place because of it.

Keep the Son in your eyes,

Pastor Ben J Lahay

Galatians 2:20
