We have moved into a culture in which the next generation does not understand what it is to honor and respect anyone, even their parents. When confronted with this deficiency they become enraged claiming they do, the very act of raging in protest proves their disrespect. The only way this can change in an individual is if they realize their sin, repent and trust Christ to change them into a new creation.
Proverbs 23:9 "Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
For he will despise the wisdom of your words."
Proverbs 26:11 "Like a dog that returns to its vomit
Is a fool who repeats his folly."
Proverbs 9:7,8 He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself,
And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself.
8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, Reprove a wise man and he will love you."
2 Corinthians 11:20 "For you tolerate it if anyone enslaves you, anyone devours you, anyone takes advantage of you, anyone exalts himself, anyone hits you in the face."
Psalms 1:1 "How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! "
Proverbs 16:22 "Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, But the discipline of fools is folly."
Matthew 15:14 "Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit."
Mark 7:10-13 Moses gave you this law from God: ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death. (Narcissists are often very disrespectful towards their parents).
