One of the most monumental works in all the world is the Great Wall of China. It stretches more than 1,500 miles over mountains and deserts and is the only man-made structure visible from space. The Chinese built it to keep out barbarians, and for the most part they succeeded. Only three times was it ever breeched, and in all three instances the enemy gained access by bribing a gatekeeper. Even the strongest security system is worthless if those responsible do not have appropriate values.
When values deteriorate, so does everything else. Former American President Ronald Reagan observed, "If we fail to instruct our children in justice, religion, and liberty, we will be condemning them to a world without virtue, a life in the twilight of a civilization where the great truths have been forgotten."
Take seriously your responsibility to teach those in your house the values that make life worthwhile. Share them with your children and grandchildren. Teach them to "do according to all that is written in it" so that it may go well with their lives.
A life empty of values is a life without value
