Sins of the Grandfathers

Why do I love this news article, "Sins of The Grandfathers"? I love it because it confirms my faith in God's Word. The Bible tells us that sin carries on down through the generations. As an educator, I have seen the truth of this in a psychological sense, and I am pleased to see it confirmed in a very physical sense.

I believe it very important for fathers to be home with their children and read the Bible to them, as well as play with them, taking them outside to play, and being with them, enjoying life together with them, even if that means families earn less money, and can afford less supplemental education.

I believe children end up needing less supplemental education if fathers give ample time to moral education, which cannot be abbreviated.

Here is an article stating that world-wide obesity rates have doubled since 1980. No one would claim that to be grossly overweight is God's intention. We have a better understanding now that excessive fat on a human body is not only uncomfortable to carry and debilitating to one's dating calendar and marriage prospects, but also detrimental to one's physical health in a major way.

Christians need to lead the way towards healthier lifestyles, wherein we keep a clean outlook towards worldly passions, eating not for pursuit of pleasure to the extent of ignoring a sense of prudence regarding which foods and quantities are appropriate for optimal health. I believe only Christians are able to maintain a lifelong focus on moral improvement, inasmuch as they have the proper tools to continually reduce their participation in sin. I believe the Bible expects this much of us, moral growth, so much so that it appears to others that we verily lose our evil preference for sin so little do we choose it anymore.
