As a parent you hope that the people and ideas you expose your children to will be fruitful for years to come. The sticky part is getting them to really enjoy (or at least listen) when you afford them these opportunities.
A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to go hear Ravi Zacharias and Dennis Prager moderated by Jeff Foxworthy. The discussion was around the decline of Western culture. In case you haven't heard of Ravi and Dennis, both are intellectuals: Ravi, a Christian apologist, and Dennis, a practicing Jew. Jeff, well Jeff was just Jeff, (perhaps a surprise to some) was just as intellectual.
On one hand, the discussion was depressing. Depressing to see and hear how far we have fallen. On the other, particularly listening to Ravi, it was encouraging. It was comforting to be reminded that God is sovereign and in control of even what seems out of control.
I think both my boys were listening....at least I hope they were. They're going to see a lot in their lifetimes.
