Things You Can Teach Your Children
It’s doubtful that a home can be truly happy unless Christ is the center of it. God instituted marriage, the family and the home, where the basic lessons of life are learned. Home should be a sanctuary, a place of discipline, safety and peace; not bedlam or confusion. The Bible says to “set your house in order.” (Isaiah 38:1) The word discipline means “to teach.” Teaching has been too long left to teachers and coaches. Parents are to teach their children by precept and example to be loving members of the household, good citizens of the community, faithful members of the church, and, most importantly, obedient followers of Jesus Christ. Parents only have their children for a few short years, which is why it’s crucial to instill in them love for the Lord. There is no greater investment that can be made.
