How to Mess up The Minds of Your Children | Hypocrisy

Charles Swindoll in his book on Grace puts it this way, “How to mess up the minds of your children? Here’s guaranteed way to do it! Rear them in a legalistic environment of external religion, where performance is more important than reality. Fake your faith. Sneak around and pretend your spirituality. Train your children to do the same. Embrace a long list of do’s and dont’s publicly but hypocritically practice them privately . . . yet never own up to the fact that it is hypocrisy. Act one way but live another. And you can count on it; emotional and spiritual damage will occur.” (Charles Swindoll. The Grace Awakening. Dallas: Word Pub., 1990) p.97).
