Our Ultimate Priority as Parents
When it’s all said and done, what is our job as parents?
In his best-selling book Bringing Up Boys, Dr. James Dobson says it best:
“Parents [need] to capitalize on the impressionable years of
childhood by instilling in their sons the antecedents of character.
Their assignment during two brief decades will be to transform their
boys from immature and flighty youngsters into honest, caring men who
will be respectful of women, loyal and faithful in marriage, keepers
of commitment, strong and decisive leaders, good workers, and secure
in their masculinity. And of course, the ultimate goal for people of faith is to give each child an understanding of Scripture and a lifelong passion for Jesus Christ.”
If our children wholeheartedly love the Lord and experience His love in their lives, and know we love them unconditionally, they’ll be well equipped to ride out the many storms of life.
What does it take to impart faith
to our children?
