News article

wow....it just breaks my heart to read these articles. What is wrong with kids today? I just read an article like two days ago that a boy stabbed his mother to death, who was a cop in the "child abuse" area of the police dept....and somehow he was found outside sitting with his sisters dead naked body...they think she fell or was pushed from her balcony.

You know.... lately I've been reading more and more of this stuff. As if it's increasing or becoming more common. Really I am starting to this about this being an end times.

I really think about the days just before the flood. I think about the characteristics of Sodom. It seems as though we are on a fast track down a very similar path.

LT 2 Timothy 3:1 You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.
2 For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.
4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. (2Ti 3:1-4 NLT)



Not all are bad, but things are getting more astonishing every year.

Reading the article on FoxNews about this and what the teen said to authorities, this was demonic influence if I've ever heard it. The boy said he was standing behind his mother who was on the computer, and the thoughts just came to him to kill her. So, while she's working on the computer he walks up behind her and hits her with a hammer. It sounded like a very spur of the moment and impulsive thing.

If we don't start teaching our children what spiritual warfare is all about this type of stuff is going to continue to happen and get worse.

That's a fair point. I heard from a news video that he was on drugs at the time. It's something that isn't talked about. Drugs really make people suseptable to demonic influence.

On a side note... As a Christian I should be praying for this young man. For his salvation that he feels remorse and is repentant. I know Jesus died for all sinners. But I am having a hard time praying for this man. What he did was so horrendous and I am dismayed to the point where if I uttered any words to God on this man's behalf they wouldn't be honestly what I feel.

Yeah, drugs are a bad thing and open up people to all kinds of evil, VerticalReality is right, we need to teach our kids about spiritual warfare....not just to stay off the stuff that looks "fun" because it's bad for them.

I understand that...but surprisingly, later that night after I had posted this, I felt awful for him and these other teens who have been doing such things. I realized that one day, more likely than not, these kids will mature to a point that they will suddenly be hit with a ton of bricks about what they did and they won't be able to take it back. I mean, I think about the stupid stuff I did all the way up to my mid-twenties when I suddenly started to mature and think of how I wish I could undo so much of it and how foolish my thinking was; I just can't imagine how these kids who do these things will feel when they suddenly realize how selfish and self indulgent they were.
Which then brought me to the fact that our society, us included, have changed the way children are raised and over indulged our children, tv influences them, school does, social networking online does, their friends do, the list goes on. All I could do was pray for this boy and others like him, then pray for God's mercy on us adults who have the challenge of raising our children in such a society that tells them that if they don't get their way they have every right to be angry.

If he ever does feel remorse over this he will carry that burden for the rest of his life.

You and me both. I am only 28 but I feel i wasted those early years after being saved due to my spiritual immaturity. I think if i wasn't so focused on worldly things then I could have had a bigger impact for God. But I try to remember that sometimes God has us in places that don't seem favorable because he has something else going on. Perhaps through my err God used me to plant some seeds. It's a learning experience though. We see that past experience as foolish and that shapes our future experiences and decisions. Definite spiritual growth and maturity shows there

I just can't imagine how these kids who do these things will feel when they suddenly realize how selfish and self indulgent they were.

Good point. It's interesting to see the behavior patterns of a child influenced by all those things and a child that's not. A woman I know has a son that wasn't raised on much TV, no video games, no facebook and perhaps limited internet. He was raised to have manners, have old school social interaction through sports and the like. I was impressed with how mature he is for his age. It's a world difference. A bit off topic.

All I could do was pray for this boy and others like him, then pray for God's mercy on us adults who have the challenge of raising our children in such a society that tells them that if they don't get their way they have every right to be angry.

If the parents are submersed in scripture daily and working on their walk daily then it's easier to
Pro 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Yes, the article I read said that the teen's friend who he confessed to told authorities the guy took some exctasy before he killed his parents.

That's interesting. The video just stated "drugs". With the latest bathsalt craze and how that effects people psychologically and physically I was expecting that.

[lovex]

I felt a heavy burden on my heart to pray for him also. I know what he did was horribly wrong... it's just, I pray that one day, he will be revealed Truth in this darkness that he committed. That he'll be on his knees repenting, and at the same time, realizing how forgiving our God is.

I also prayed for his parents. That they knew the Lord and had a relationship with Him.

So sad..... It's hard to even think about.

And can you imagine that the world is going to get worse, I can't think how it possibly could get worse to be honest. Kids these days are crazy!!!

[gringo300]

Whenever I read things like this, I have to question whether or not the whole story is being told, or if the people doing the reporting even KNOW the whole story.

But, then, I have to question EVERY news report.

Agendas can be promoted in ANYTHING. I don't care if it's a report on an afternoon thundershower somewhere.

[gringo300]

I can't think how it possibly could get worse to be honest.

I can.

Believe me, what I see is NOT pretty.
