My twin sister recently told me about a woman in her church who was faithful and devout. This woman did everything she could to keep her children from the world. She even home schooled them in order to preserve them for Christ. And yet, in the end, one of her children went the way of the world and even ended up on drugs.

It is as though once a person achieves the age of 18, he becomes a legal adult, graduating out of a world in which he can be greatly influenced by his peers.
