We teach our children about the world and the Bible. We teach them that the world is bad (1 Jn. 2:15). And we teach them that the Bible is good (Pr. 16:20). That is true, but our children are rarely taught (guided) as to how the two intersect with each other. The result is that they will either be seduced by the world or they will be cocooned from the world. Both are useless to Jesus. The desired biblical mindset is when Christians reject the influence of the world (see it for the deceptive garbage that it is), but desire to love and influence those trapped the world.

The local high school has a policy that the parents must call the school
if a student is to be absent for the day. Kelly Raines, deciding to skip
school and go to the mall with her friends waited until her parents had
left for work and called the school herself. This is the actual
conversation of the telephone call.

Kelly: "Hi, I'm calling to report that Kelly Raines is unable to make it
to school today because she is ill.

Secretary at high school: "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll note her
absence. Who is this calling?"

Kelly: "This is my mother."
