The Danger of Sedition

Sedition - Rebellion against authority...
tsktsk.. dangerous!

I learnt this from Pastor Kong's series of sermons on becoming a real man.

Imagine this -
Father lends son car, imposes curfew.
Son comes home late, father grounds him. No car.
Son one day got a hot date for prom nite. Needs car.
Son goes to mother. Praises mother good looking.
Mother happy. Son asks mother for permission to use car.
Mother says sure. Son goes to father. Says mother gave permission.
Father angry. Says no car.
Son goes to mother. Says father tells him not to listen to her.
Mother angry. Tells son to not to listen to father.
Son goes to father. Says mother asks him to shut up and lend him the car.
Father even more angry. Tells him that mum should be the one to shut up.
Son goes to mother. Tells her that dad says u go and die.
Mother storms to father. BIG argument...
"u mean u dont love me anymore..!! tell me go and die.. !! ahh!!"

Tsktsk... son has manipulated his own parents.
Mother has just taught her son that the father's authority can be broken.
And the son is just in teenage years. Wat will happen when he grows.

Dear Father God, I pray you help us not to fall into this trap. Amen!
