PARENTAL FAILURE – HOW LACK OF DISCIPLINE IS CREATING A GENERATION OF LOST SOULS
There was a time when parents raised warriors. Now, they raise weaklings.
A time when children feared their fathers’ discipline. Now, children insult their fathers online.
A time when a slap from your mother could reset your entire future. Now, mothers watch their children twerk for clout.
The world changed—not because evil became more powerful, but because parents became weaker.
Children no longer have boundaries,
No fear.
No respect.
No discipline.
And the result?
A generation that mocks God, worships vanity, and embraces sin with pride.
*BRUTAL THREAD:*
1. *CHILDREN WITHOUT DISCIPLINE BECOME ADULTS WITHOUT SELF-CONTROL*
A child who never hears “NO” at home will hear “NO” from life when it’s too late.
The boy who was never told to control his desires will become a man addicted to s*x, gambling, and laziness.
The girl who was never told to respect herself would become a woman who exposes her body for money and attention.
The child who was never corrected for lying will become an adult who deceives, manipulates, and steals.
If parents don’t discipline their children, the world will punish them later.
2. *THE FALL OF FAMILY VALUES IS THE RISE OF MORAL DECAY*
What happened to parenting?
Mothers used to teach daughters how to be women of dignity. Now, they encourage them to “secure the bag” by any means.
Fathers used to teach sons how to be responsible men. Now, they are absent—either too weak, too distracted, or too scared to lead.
So children are now learning from TikTok instead of home, and the internet is raising a generation with no fear of God and no sense of direction.
