Children.
"And God saw
that it was good."
Yes.
"All things
bright and beautiful...The Lord God made them all...How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well."
Yes.
"Let Us make
people in Our image...Let them have dominion over all the earth and over
all..."
Yes.
@#$%
God knows
children need stability, security, and identity.
Therefore,
baptismal promises.
His plan to
provide for their needs.
He entrusts them
to us.
Dominion.
"In
presenting your child for baptism, do you confess your faith in Jesus Christ as
your Lord and Savior; and do you promise, in dependence on the grace of God, to
bring up your child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?"
Children are
baptized or marked off for
God because they belong to God whether they know it or not as
parents join other adults in the greater family of faith uncommonly called the
Church in agreeing to provide examples, education, and environments of loving
Jesus by loving like Jesus with the prayer/hope that the child will eventually confirm the truth of
belonging to God through Jesus as enabled by the Holy Spirit.
Stewardship.
@#$%
Some churches
"dedicate" babies which is kinda like the same thing by definition.
Doesn't matter.
The promises
matter very, very, very much.
Maybe that's why
some adults don't baptize or dedicate or...
Some adults seem
to forget or ignore or defy the call/responsibility of dominion's/stewardship's
promises.
Report cards

Have you listened
to children talking in the cafeteria, classroom, bleachers, mall, and...?
Who showed/taught
them to talk like that?
What's up with
all of their barking, biting, bullying, bruising, beating, and...bullets?
Who showed/taught
them to do that?
Why are they so
selfish, separating, segregating, distancing, divorcing, destroying, and
my-way-or-the-highway-if-I-don't-get-my-way-I'll-pick-up-my-marbles-and-quit
members of churches, clubs, and...?
Who showed/taught
them to behave so badly?
@#$%
Are we that...?
The solution is
simple.
Replace the
commandments taken down.
Return to the
prayer and pledge.
He honors people
who honor Him.
People who
abandon Him are...

It's not about
more guns or less guns or more taxes or less taxes or bigger schools or smaller

It's about God's
place in their lives.
Who removed Him
from their lives?
Are we that...?

Weeelllllllllllll, it might just be time for government controlled public schools to die. This country might well benefit from education in the hands of a private sector where competition, excellence, and performance mattered more than lowering the bar so that none are left behind, and curricula and texts are rewritten so that all are misled.
I'm just saying...
Jim,
While I wasn't thinking about that, brother, it does cause me to stop in my, uh, whatevers. Maybe, like mainline denominations, public schools have outlived their... I don't know. I just know that all of the efforts to remove God from the curriculum has contributed so demonically to what's going down... Frankly, I'm surprised that so many school leaders and parents have caved to the world spirit of the age at the expense of Godliness for our children... I guess those baptismal/dedication promises are just for show... Regardless, I don't have the answer; except for bringing Him back into the classroom, courtroom, marketplace, and... All I know is what we're doing now ain't working anymore. Dang, you're making me think! Dankeroo!
Bob,
Excellent and oh how we need families and good schools who teach in love and discipline with purpose and grace.
