If children don’t learn to honor the authority that is their parents, they’ll go to school and question the authority that is the teachers; They’ll play on sports teams and question the authority that is the coach; They’ll question the authority of the police and the courts; They’ll question the authority of their boss; They’ll reject the importance of their marriage vows; They’ll question the authority of their pastors, if they even bother to go to church; Ultimately they’ll question the authority of Jesus Christ and reject Him as their Lord in favor of worshipping themselves. In short, if the fifth commandment is neglected, we’ll have the kind of country that increasingly America has become; Those who violate the fifth command almost always violate the first commands also!
