Fortunately I never had such a thing happen. I am grateful for that. What will happen to the next generation, I don't know. But my children were taught and I am grateful that they have followed the advice of their parents. Now, if you are at fault, my good brothers and sisters, go to the Lord on your knees and ask for forgiveness and see if you can't amend the evil, repair the broken commandment for which you no doubt are partly, at least, responsible.
People do have rebellious children.
Adam had rebellious children Evidently the greater part of his family were rebellious. And although I am sure he tried to teach them, many of them rebelled. That can't always be avoided, but it can quite generally be avoided if the parents are doing they duty, if they are living as they should live keeping the commandments of the Lord, being true and faithful to every covenant they make. I would like to say much about divorce. When you go home, you pick up your Bible and turn to the nineteenth chapter of Matthew, read the first nine verses.
