A couple of thoughts have been rolling around in my mind, as of late. I cannot help but think that there is some sort of underlying, worldview, presuppositional approach that we take to child rearing, simply because we are Americans. I am certain that this is a subconscious, unrecognized controlling factor in how we train up our children.
The big question is, "What is this approach?" We also must consider if there is any way we can change this, into a form that is in line with historic Christianity. I cannot help but understand that something like this must be very, very deeply rooted and presuppositional. As I have shifted from Calvinistic Protestantism to Eastern Orthodoxy, I am coming to realize just how important questions like this are and that something must be done about them.
The other aspect that must be considered is the horrifyingly influential power of American culture. As we descend further and further into depravity, perversion and death, our American culture continues to influence us and our children. We must act and stop this influence.
What is controlling the way in which we raise up our children?
