License to Kill- Rated G

   Crime shows have become widely popular across the globe. War is an issue in every part of the planet. Violence is running rampid in video games and across the television. But how can this be? Children are being taught in school not to use violence, so why has it becoming such a problem?

   The answer lies in the home. Children are indeed being taught that "violence is not the answer" in school, but then they go home and pop in Tarzan and watch the rifle weilding bad guy strangle in jungle vines. They observe Ursula, the sea witch, getting impaled with a plank of wood and then getting struck by lightening. They watch as Simba's uncle Scar gets his throat ripped out by a pack of crazed hyenas.
   How can we allow our youth to watch these scenes without explaining to them the evil of it? Without proper direction small children, as young as three years old, can latch on to the idea that "bad people must die, and bad people are the ones that go against what I want."

 If we as leaders allow this issue of violence to go undiscussed, we will without a doubt, regret it. Christ is quoted in John 14:27 saying, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you..." Revoke your child's G-rated liscense to kill! Discuss the issue and teach them about the peace Christ left for us through His violent death and vctorious resurrection.
