There is a study now extant on Fox News.com which says, 'Spare God, spoil the child'. What a great title. But it should have gone on to the fact that to disallow God of the Biblical thesis also spoils adults and anyone in between. People seem to be healthier, happier, and have abundant lives even if they are poorer than the average American. Look at the renewal and revivals that are happening in Latin America and Africa. Now when one is looking at cultural, economic and even political freedom, history shows us that in Biblical Judeo-Christian nations, these levels promote liberty and access to the power of God.Even free enterprise capitalism has prospered in those type of nations. America and England are two such examples. Of course, democracy usually does better in that type of heritage too. One wonders why so many Americans nowadays seem convinced that free enterprise is not , NOT the best system for us. There are many new found socialists in America even if they do not know it. They love it for security, the welfare state and the nanny government. Though two polls like Barna and Gallup say that many many Americans believe in God, one wonders what God are they believing in ????? Since gangs with youth are increasing, crime in large cities like Philadelphia is increasing, since child abuse seems to be increasing and since Hollywood, Hip Hop seems to be influencing so many of our kids with or without video games and MTV, the study does seem to imply that if parents introduced the God of the Bible to their kids at a young age, better things would happen to the entire family. Of course, it would help if those same parents were imbued with the Biblical values and salvation they need to lead their own kids!
