Children

I have been reading in Genesis...I was reading about Lot and when the men came to his door wanting his visitors. Lot was willing to give his daughters to these men...these sodomites. He was willing to throw his children to the world. I wonder how many parents are guilty of doing the same thing? Most parents do this and don't even realize it. The world is outside the doors of our homes banging on our doors wanting our children. What a serious job we have as parents! Do we take our job seriously though? Are we guarding our children? Do we have a hedge of protection prayed around them? May God help us to protect, and raise in children in God's way.
