Raise Your Children Away From the Culture or You will Lose Them

When we were raising children, I attempted to teach our children to address adults as Mr. and Mrs. and their last name. Unfortunately, the ungodly culture we were in worked against me, telling the children to call them by their first name. My children went with the culture, and my authority with them was ruined. And, there were many other such things in which the culture came against me in front of my children.

 
If you can, do not raise your children around those who are going to undermine your teachings, the culture will win every time because children are predisposed to following the crowd, making us look like the strange ones to be avoided.
