FAMILY CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HIGH LEVEL OF MORAL DECADENCE IN OUR SOCIETY. By Tobe Eze

FAMILY CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HIGH LEVEL OF MORAL DECADENCE IN OUR SOCIETY.

Family is the first school and the first church a child attends and that is why it is very necessary in the formation of human character. If a child is well formed in a family, it is always difficult to deform the person and any child deformed in character from the family is always difficult to form again.  Family can be held responsible for the high level of moral decadence in our society today with these few reasons.

It is not whole and entire that families should be held responsible but if they have done these few things, it will go a long way to help the society. Many parents are over busy these days in looking for what they will use to train their children and forget about training their children.

Third Sunday of Easter Year C.

First Reading

Acts 5:27b-32.40b-41

Second Reading

Revelation 5:11-14

Gospel

John 21:1-19

THEME: WHAT DO YOU TEACH?

Almost all we do or say on earth affect others who are around us both directly and indirectly. If that is true, then we have to be careful in all we do for if we mislead any of these people of God, it will be better for us that we were not born (Matthew 26:24). Some of us are teaching others good ways of salvation while others are taking people back.

In the first reading, the apostles were busy taking people to the way of life while the chief priests were busy trying to stop them and to take people back to darkness. Ask yourself where you belong. Do you belong to the chief priests or to the apostles? Answer yourself. Continue Reading..................
