Each child that is born into this world has the potential for godliness and even greatness in the Lord’s kingdom (note the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11:1-40). However, the traits todays children need to guide a future society will not come by accident, but through diligent and godly parenting (cf. Genesis 18:17-19; Luke 2:39-52; 2 Timothy 1:3-5; 2 Timothy 3:13-15).<\/p>\n
Gods Word calls us to point children to Jesus (Mark 10:14-16; Luke 18:15-17). We are to instruct them in Gods ways (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; cf. Ephesians 6:4), discipline them toward godliness (Proverbs 13:24; Proverbs 19:18; Proverbs 22:15; Proverbs 23:13; Proverbs 29:15; Proverbs 29:17), and love them unconditionally (Luke 15:11-32). Just imagine what a new born baby’s world can be like, if the parents dedicate themselves to godly parenting.<\/p>\n
Are we a Christian parent or grandparent? Let’s be willing to teach our children and grandchildren godliness, faith, and uncommon love (2 Peter 1:5-8; cf. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13). Then, when they influence their world, they will reveal God to a new generation (Psalm 78:1-7; cf. Deuteronomy 6:1-2).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
