every child including yours is born into the world of moral and spiritual darkness. So parents, your most urgent responsibility is to be their guiding light.
one day a hard-drinking father who left his adolescent son in a pick-up truck and went into a bar for a drink. Two hours later, Dad lumbered back to the truck, finding his boy missing. Later, in the bar, he found his son in the company of a couple of inebriated young lads who'd got him drunk. In ensuring fight with them, Dad ended up bleeding on the floor, his distressed son kneeling over him, pleading; 'please Dad dont be mad at me, i just was following you.'
We all follow someone, hoping they know the way.
The Bible says...Ahaziah son of Ahab...did evil in the eyes of the Lord, because he walked in the ways of his father and mother......(1Kings 22:51-52 ).
Your children may not follow your advice, they will follow your example, whether good or bad.
Parents are the children signpost at their crossroads; road maps in their confusion. Paul encourage his spiritual children, saying, follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ...1 Corith 11:1. You dont need a college degree in parenting to shine at home.
Enbracing and living out Chirst,s teaching each day qualifies you to be the best parent you can be! Remember a righteous man who walks in his integrity-how blessed are his sons and daughters after him. proverbs 20:7.
God bless all parents
