A TIP FOR PARENTS

I think today we have a great wave of teenage crime in the country,
but really, I think it started at home.
I—I think it was the parents who began to let go.
And if a child grows up in a good, old-fashioned, godly home,
I don’t say it would be all over, certainly not,
but it would certainly have a good kind of influence on that child.
SAID BROTHER BRANHAM
26. Now, this young man, Uzziah, was a king.
But before he was king… He was a king during the reign of Isaiah the prophet.
And he was a shepherd boy, he loved nature. He had a great influence on—on Isaiah’s life.
Isaiah was a young man too, just a young prophet. And read the story, if you will, take 2 Chronicles 26, you will see the account.
How, at the age of 16, after the death of his father, a righteous man, he became…
they took him, they made him king of Israel. At the age of 16, he began to reign.
And he had seen the influence of his parents;
his mother was a godly woman and his father was a godly man, in his eyes.
And that had influenced the child to do what was right.
27. I tell you.
I think today we have a big wave of teenage crime in the country,
but really, I think it started at home.
I—I think it was the parents who started to let go. And if a child grows up in a good, old-fashioned, godly home,
I’m not saying that would be the end of it, certainly not, but it would certainly have a good kind of influence on that child.
I think that oftentimes, it’s because of bad home-schooling that children run wild on the streets and fend for themselves while the mother is at the bar, or the… and the father, and so on.
They don’t take care of that child. Another thing, they don’t love him and give him affection, care for him.
He’s young. You have to teach him to love,
