Our Parents’ Faith

How do our religious lives compare to those of our parents? Are we more or less religious than they were? Do we find that we spend more time on spiritual matters than they did, or less?

Re: religion and spiritual matters

I do agree that spirtual practices reflect the faith on the inside.

MOTHERS

MOTHERS

There’s no greater power on earth Than the love we get from our mothers. They feel our fears within themselves Far more than sisters or brothers.

As seasons pass; in time we learn We can’t always rely on others. No mater what our mistakes may be We know we can run to our mothers.

Mothers have great big aprons To hide from the world our flaws. They kiss and scold when we do wrong Teaching compliance of God’s laws.

From birth to death mothers lead Our angels of kindness from above. They give us more than anyone else Preaching the importance of love.

Moms are certainly God’s gift to earth So if you still have one, let it be known. You can’t imagine your life without her While the seed of your future is sown.

Why do teens lie to there parents

My daughter has a friend and she likes this boy in school but he is not into church and my daughter is afraid that she might get into some kind of trouble. I talked to my daughter to talk to her and tell her not to lie to her parents. Because i wouldn't want my daughter to lie to me we talk about everything. I want her to understand that she can tell us anything. Please help me to understand this girl? concern friend

Times change

As the needs of people in society change, so too does religious practice change. Religion should be suited to its time, so parents and children should never have identical religious experiences.

re: Why do teens lie to there parents`

We lie because parents don't understand that we want to have sex and we understand how to do it safely. you think we are idiots but pre-marital sex is OK as long as we have your support and understanding. It's a lot safer if we don't have to lie.
