Little Foxes

Little Fox – see link in article
The wise man Solomon spoke of the little foxes that spoil the vineyards. These are little habits, little thoughts, little indiscretions, or little lies that lead us away from complete obedience to Jesus, the vine, God’s Word. Before we know it, the vines are ravaged, and our lives and the nation’s vineyard become a shambles. No group of people pays a higher price for the invasion of little foxes than our children. In the past few generations, most have not been prepared in heart and mind to overcome an onslaught of lies from schools, the entertainment industry, the press, and social media with their peers. Likely, many of us are captured by many lies, too. It is no wonder this generation’s perceptions about origins, gender, sexuality, race, health, liberty, church, government, family, and the Lord are damaged. As one of our children put it, there is almost no way to reason with his generation. If you diverge on a theological or political topic, you are the enemy, not merely someone who disagrees and might expand another’s understanding if a calm exchange of ideas took place.

Prayer & Praise
- ???? Ask the Lord to show us the “little foxes” that threaten our well-being as believers, not just the headlined problems, to be overcome by faithful obedience in the small things. May He teach us how to prepare and protect our children and grandchildren from life-destroying lies.
- ???? Pray for the hundreds of Discovery Bible Studies (DBS) taking place in Cote d’Ivoire, that leaders will not grow complacent but teach others to lead studies, and that thousands of people will be saved and made disciples of Jesus. See last week’s two-minute video to grip the possibilities. Prior updates explaining the DBS approach we use are linked here, here, here, here, and here among others. As always in our updates, the details are in the links!
- ???? Our granddaughter Chelsea’s return to her regular first-grade classroom has been beneficial. She recently had a report card with the best results ever.
