Furl? How about Hurl?!

So, I was reading some article and the "bottom-feeder bar" asked me if I "Digg-it" or if I want to "send it to del.icio.us" or... if I want to "Furl"? I'm thinking, with all the sad news of how bad things are getting, someone should invent a new choice. Instead of "Furl" how about "Hurl"... as in chunder, toss one's cookies, throw up, etc, etc ad nauseum. Sigh.

Anyone else frustrated with America being conquered by socialism and marxism? And the glaring illiteracy regarding biblical truth, and the general lack of a biblical worldview?

OK, enough complaining. Do something about it. Teach your kids. As in, YOU, yourself, teach YOUR own kids. Quit thinking the church's efforts will do it for you (it's your job after all), and quit expecting it to be done short-order on weekends only. And quit blaming everyone else for teaching wrong things to your kids, unless you're willing to step up and do something about it.

I'm talking to the Christians here. Each one teach your own kids what they need to know, and prevent someone else from teaching them what they ought not think or believe. Studies show that almost 9 out of 10 kids raised in Evangelical homes are shown to be non-Christian by just one to two years after they graduate from high school. Based on my own research, I say that Apostolic Pentecostals are not doing much better in having our kids stay in truth after they "grow up." Does that make you want to "throw up?" I think any serious study of this kind of statistical failure rate among us would reveal a sad state of affairs. It's time for parents to step up to the plate.

KJV: "And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4).

NIV: "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4).

Ryrie commented: "Vs. 6:4 do not provoke. I.e., do not nag or arbitrarily assert authority."

Believers Study Bible commentary has this: "Ephesians 6:4: This verse is a warning to parents not to direct their children toward the wrath of God. Rather, the parent is commanded to rear the child in the "training" (paideia, Gk.), i.e., the nurture, education, and "admonition" (nouthesia, Gk.), of the Lord. "Admonition" has the idea of "discipline" (lit., "to put in mind"), which is to remind the child of faults and duties by teaching him self-control.
