Who's Building Your Children?

Bible readings for the day: Genesis 19

Options Lot to settle in the city of Sodom was wrong because he's just the aspect of soil fertility (prosperity) and ignore the need for a good environment. As a result, pagan vision helped shape the views of children Lot (13:10,11, 19:31-32).

If people in ancient times, especially the aspect of soil fertility in choosing a place to live, people in the present, especially prioritizing business development facility, education, and entertainment, which also will also determine the price of land. From the beginning until now, rarely a priority there is spiritual development and a good environment for the children as the main criteria in choosing a place to live.

A lot of people wrong by assuming that our lives and our families is determined by the material, when in fact many factors that shape these lives. By prioritizing the material, Lot forget that the neighborhood will help shape the mindset of his children. After the city of Sodom and Gomorrah and the Jordan valley were destroyed by God with fire and brimstone, the two girls Lot felt that they had to connect the descendants of the family and the only way to have children is by having sex with their fathers because there is no other man can they meet. As a result, the older daughter gave birth to a boy named "Moab", ie the ancestor of Moab, and the younger gave birth to a boy named "Ben-Ami", the ancestor of the Ammonites. Both nations are hostile to Israel. It was horrible due to the influence of environment on the behavior of the daughters of Lot's family!

"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
