Uncle want a hand in shaping the minds
of our offspring in order to advance their
ideas;and;agendas;into;the;future.;I;think
I’d;rather;not;hand;my;children;off;to
those who have been raised in, and want
to raise my children in, ideologies that
differ;from;the;non-negotiable;Biblical
ones I hold.
If Godly children are the answer to
the evils of the future, then Godly parents are the answer to the question of
who will teach them. What do Godly
parents look like? I would hope they
look;like;you;and;me.
When;our;children;are;grown,;I;think
we;would;all;love;to;look;back;and;see
that our children proclaimed truth and
did not give way to fear, or cultural rel-
evance, or peer pressure. We would love
to know that our children held their
ground and stood up for what was righ-
teous and holy. We would love to be able
to look back and see well-disciplined
and well-discipled children who hon-
ored God with their lives no matter
the opposition. This begs the observa-
tion;that;in;order;to;look;back;and;see
such;a;wonder,;we;need;to;look;at;our
own children today and ask ourselves
the question, are we teaching them, and
what are we teaching them?
As;much;as;we’d;like;to;pass;off;the;duty
to some other learned or novice teacher,
or to some grand or meager institution,
these entities may or may not be at all
interested in your child’s character or
spiritual;growth,;and;most;likely;are;not
resolved or intent in training them in the
way that would produce such God-driven
future leaders. Parents, instruct your
children in the law of the Lord, and both
of you will have good success. Not feeling
very successful? Here are ten words of
encouragement and exhortation to help
you along your parental path:
1. Are We Doing What God
Desires?
God;is;looking;for;parents;who;are;will-ing;to;sacrifice;their;time;and;concen-trate their efforts on protecting their
children;from;the;influences;of;the;world
and placing them directly under the in-fluence;of;the;King.;He;is;looking;for
parents who are willing to lay down their
desires and plans in order to ensure that
the next generation is one that is sancti-fied;unto;the;Lord;;holy;and;blameless.
Who;will;be;the;parents;of;children;like
Daniel, Joseph or Esther: full of wisdom
and discernment; character and strength;
conviction and humility; children of
prayer and children of power. Will someone else teach them these things? Why
