Why did God give you children? Not so you can point and brag — 'this is my son, this is my daughter.' God gave you children for a purpose, and that purpose requires intentional, faith-filled parenting. Open the scriptures and use them to pray over your children's lives. Do not compete with other families or measure your children by the world's standards. Discipline is your responsibility, not the church's or the school's. Train up a child in the way he should go — but understand that training is more than instruction; it is building character, faith, and a love for God that will endure when the pressures of the world come knocking.
