If Canada is to survive as a nation noted for its peace, security and faith in God, we need to entrust what we believe into the hands of the youth of today. We need to be careful of what we pass on to malleable minds, if we wish to preserve all we hold dear.
It is pointless to complain about the present pandemic concerns, the economy, or anything else if we are not vigilant about the sort of experiences to which we expose our children.
What are we letting them watch on TV? What kind of violence or immorality are we tolerating in other forms of entertainment? What the future holds for our nation depends entirely upon how we answer these questions.
These times of isolation and family togetherness offer the opportunity for some schooling in these matters.
The Bible says, 鈥淧oint your kids in the right direction 鈥� when they鈥檙e old they won鈥檛 be lost.鈥� (Proverbs 22:6 鈥� The Message).

It has also been reported 鈥� and is evident in some congregations 鈥� that young adults are returning to the churches that are preaching life in Jesus.
We have an important mission to fulfill. The future of our nation depends on it.
Let鈥檚 take up or keep up the good work.
