The bible says we are born into sin, it is our nature to be selfish and greedy, even evil, the good has to be taught and learned. Someone once said to the parent of a naughty six year old child, "when did you teach your child to be so bad", the mother said, "I never taught him to be bad, he learned it all on his own", he didn't have to learn it, it is his nature to be bad, to be good has to be learned and taught by word and good example. Many of today's and yesterdays parents are failing their children because their parents failed them, mainly because they followed the teaching of Dr. Spock(or Spaak, not sure of the spelling of his name) even he admitted before he died that his teaching was wrong on the discipline issue. So bent the twig, so grows the tree. The bible says to rear up a child in the way it should go, and though it may stray for a while, it will return to its roots(teaching).

With the drop in church attendance and driving God out of school and the lack of teaching of God in the home, it's no wonder so many kids have no morals. With the filth they have to hear and see every day in music and the media, it's no wonder they have no respect. Someone once said "if satan can keep God out of the lives of three generation in a row, he will win the victory". But try as he might, he will not defeat God. Praise the Lord.
