Deuteronomy 6; 6—7,  And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” When believers fail to teach their children how to live a righteous life in this fallen world, there are plenty of others that will teach them how to live an unholy life and become self destructive.
