Creating Shade for Your Children, Part 4
Tonight, we are going to wrap up a little four-week series that we’ve been calling “Shade for the Children” built around an old Chinese proverb that said, “One generation plants the trees, then the next generation enjoys the shade.” And the question, of course, before us is, “Can this generation plant shade trees for the future?” There are many parents who are fearful for their children. There are many people fearful for their grandchildren, that say nothing of great-grandchildren, because of the way life is going in the world.
I’ve been saying to you along the way in this series that while it may seem like it’s changing for us – and to some degree, relatively speaking, it is, and life is getting more difficult. And we who have been familiar with a kind of Judeo-Christian standard of living in America are watching that fade away. And while it certainly is getting worse – but evil men always get worse and worse – this is the cycle of all of human history. Every generation of believers in every nation have lived at some point in the decline of society. We have the sense that we may be experiencing the death of our culture, the death of civilization, and not only in our own country, but around the globe.
