At the beach

“… children are left without a foundation for right and wrong,” it says on the back cover of the book Kids Adrift by Paul Henderson. I would put the same a little bit different and say: Children are left without a foundation for human behaviour.

Thinking about all this what Theodore Roosevelt said comes to my mind. What did he says? He said, “When you educate a man in mind and not in morals you educate a menace to society.”

Educating a man in mind: That is important.

Educating a man in morals: But it is more important to educate a man in morals.

I looked up “morals” in The Collins Concise Dictionary and there it says, “concerned with or relating to human behaviour, esp. the distinction between good and bad or right and wrong behaviour.

Where do we find the foundation for human behaviour? We find it in the BIBLE.

If we are not going to acknowledge that the Bible is the guide book to human behaviour not only the kids will be adrift, but the whole nation will be adrift.

Or is it adrift already?
