Immature Adults Were Indulged Children

I get so weary of the modern ideas that have been spawned from psychology and the pleasure seeking mentality that has take this country captive.

People are waiting longer to get married and divorcing more than ever before. Getting older doesn't make someone wiser.

Waiting to get married only delays the maturing process. Marriage teaches us things we could not learn until we do it. Working out struggles is easier when we have never been alone independently of a family structure.

I was engaged to my husband at 16, we remained separate until he finished college and we married at 18. We have been married now for almost 46 years.

There are people in their 40's now who act like children in terms of their maturity level. They are selfish, hyper sensitive to correction or criticism and unreasonable, all because they have been told all their lives that they don't have to do what they don't want to and that if anyone expects anything from them, that person is mean.

Mature young people who have had responsibilities and challenges are happier than the immature ones, who have spent their life playing.

Young marriages have a better chance of remaining married all their lives because they are more pliable and grow up together.

Our culture fosters break ups because we teach independence and personal freedom rather than the idea of working together for the good of others.

We should be raising our children for marriage and responsibility their entire lives until they are mature enough to handle being someone's spouse.

The purpose of childhood is not to make memories and play, it is to grow a child into an adult one day so they might enjoy responsibility and unselfishness. Within the training for adulthood the children will have memories, much better ones than those who have done nothing but play and serve self.

Have you noticed that very young children love to work, putting away their toys, helping mom put away the dishes, the things they are capable of, after that as they grow older they enjoy having chores that give them a sense of accomplishment. Their confidence level is greater when they have many work experiences.

Too much play creates lazy selfish children who have no direction or vision for their life. These children are bored out of their minds, often leading to immorality and crime not to mention disrespectful behavior.

Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:23-24 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Romans 12:11-12 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.

There is greater joy in reaching adulthood when the children have been taught to think of others above themselves.

Read the Word, it's all in there!!!!
