When children are young, their parents tell them they can be anything they want to be when they grow up. This encouraging affirmation usually allows children to try new things, learn what they’re good at, and then go out in the world to turn their skills into a career. As the Bible tells us, “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it” (Proverbs 22:6 NLT).

Sometimes it doesn’t happen this way, though. Sometimes parents model the wrong path to their children through their own choices, and when the children grow up, they either can’t or won’t depart from the same patterns. Bad habits and chains are hard to break, particularly when they’re generational.

This appears to be the case with Hunter Biden.

Joe Biden has lived a high-profile life, having now spent 52 years in public office. Over that time, he has amassed a personal fortune of about $10 million through hard work and by what many people believe to be criminal means. Therefore, we should not be surprised when his son Hunter follows in his footsteps.
