Who were the Mixed Multitude, and should we be concerned about them?

Exodus 12:37-38 KJV
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

Some days it feels like everything is pointless and unfruitful.  It can certainly feel how Solomon portrayed events in Ecclesiastes -- especially the first few chapters.

Have you ever had a "all is vanity" moment or season?

Ecclesiastes 1:13-14 KJV
And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith. I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

The way that men and women love each other is not identical -- and this is not a problem.  Or, rather, it should not be seen as a problem.

Whether romantic or platonic, friendships between men and women are not symmetrical.  They are, in fact, complementary.  Men and women give -- and need -- different things in a relationship for it to be fulfilling to them.

Let's explore this a bit today.

2 Samuel 1:26 KJV
I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.

The Bible tells us that parents are responsible for the proper training of their children.  Do the children themselves bear any responsibility?  Or does it all fall to the parents 100% ?

Proverbs 22:6 KJV
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
