"Is the young man Absalom safe?" The prodical returned home "safe and sound," but not so with David's son or Adam's son Cain. Our children are not prone to be prodicals. They seem far more stubborn in their rebellion today. And there are too many outside resources to run to away from God, parents and other authorities. In short, they are in harm's way because they think they do not need anyone else.
Sorry, we can not blame this on society or government. We have fallen short of our God given responsibility of raising and training these children. We need to invade their space and violate their privacy enough to find out what they are mixed up in and take charge before it is too late. Perhaps we can keep them from swinging from a limb by their hair until they die.
