TAKE A SECOND/HOOK LINE & SINKER.
This is a little tune I wrote, inspired by one of my nieces who grew up in a broken home with no firm moral standards and certainly no biblical foundation. The song is a brief (and certainly not complete) account of what I perceive her life to be and where she ended up. Last time I checked nothing had changed. Whadda ya think? If her parent(s) had known and applied Proverbs 22:6 "Traine vp a childe in the way he should goe: and when he is olde, hee will not depart from it. This is God's promise to parents.

Nice tune Reg. I hope it means you are feeling slightly better.
Thanks. I seem to be doing better.
I've been able to homeschool my children and hope and pray I can give them a good foundation of truth. Thanks to you Reg (and John) I've been able to teach them about the 1611 and why it is God's Word. My son who is 14 and has autism even reads it daily! It's the grace of God. My 15 year old daughter has read most of your books Reg. Thank you for all you do Reg!!
I like the tune, lyrics are so true. My niece recently let it be known that she wants to be called another name (a name that is very 'gender neutral') and she chopped her hair off. Please say a prayer for her if you wouldn't mind. She is a junior in high school. I'll pray for both of your nieces too.
Praying for your niece, and asking all my Patreon subscribers to do the same.
My wife has talked to her, but I don't think she's hit the bottom yet. Maybe then she'll listen.
An upbeat way to speak a vital truth. Sad - I have a niece who unfriended me on social media ~3 - 4 years ago because she's a practicing "pagan queen" and doesn't care for my views (though I've never "attacked" her personally). Other family members, while they respect me (I'm the oldest remaining, Disabled Military Veteran, no "red flags" to cite), more often than not flat out ignore me.
I know what you are saying. Some years ago my brother told me that if I want to have a relationship with him I was not to talk about the gospel. So, since he had heard it from me, and in the church since a very young age, I agreed. Also, he used to be a professing believer when he was a teenager, but the enticements of the world captivated him. All we can do for people like your niece and my brother is prayer for them.
