before purchasing goods from him? This is a spiritual question that obviously any adult can process.
Here's another:
For believers...how will you verbally teach your children in a world that contradicts what you teach? What do you tell your children about the behaviors of others...such as those who validate sin?

According to the Word of God (the Bible). Those who attempt to validate their sins, are only fooling themself, and one day will be judged.
You seemed to hit the bull's eye, the one thing that most people do not understand. Is that parents can only guide their children, in the right direction; according to the Holy Word of God.
However, the children are the one's; who must either believe or not believe and have faith in God and His Holy Word.
Nobody has to right to push another person into faith. It does not and will not work that way. Because, it will ultimately come down to whether your child, when he or she is standing before God for his or her judgment; has faith or not. If he or she does not have faith in God or His Son Christ Jesus - within their own heart - they are not going to have eternal life.
Yes, this is harsh and some might call it cruel. But it is reality, according to God's unchanging word - the Bible. "For God so loved the world that He gave His Son to die, so that all 'WHO BELIEVE' will have eternal life."

that's a good question. the best thing i can do is teach my child about the Lord and try my best to give him a good direction to go. hopefully when he is an adult he will make good decisions. you can't control how people in the world act, you just have to be able to make the correct reaction to their actions.

Don't conform to this world. Quickly explain, "they are calling evil good." Isaiah 5:20 "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
We are to be able to discern evil from good. It is very necessary to know the Word of God - read the Bible.
Stay far from those who validate sin.

The best way to teach my (future) children what I believe is by my FRUITS. (actions)
"You will know them by their fruits"
Jesus
"They will know your faith is real by the way you love each other"
Jesus
That last quote has become a problem in the Chruch today.
