FYFS: A fresh reminder of the importance of parenting
January 18th, 2010 by Kristi Stephens
I pray that you have been blessed and challenged by the last two weeks of Fresh Year, Fresh Start! If you have missed any posts, be sure to check them out – they are all listed here!
This is the third and final week of Fresh Year, Fresh Start – our topic is:
Praying for fresh wisdom as we seek to disciple our children with the heart of Christ. We’ll share what God has pressed upon us regarding how to train, discipline, disciple, and teach the precious treasures we have been entrusted with.
Today Teri Lynne and Kelly have taken on the subject of why we do what we do!
Here is a snippet of Teri Lynne’s wonderful post:
Because foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child (and can anyone really dispute this? If you need proof, consider almost any teenager you know!), we are called as parents to use godly discipline to train our children and give them a foundation of faith in the Lord.
Kelly has given us a great “refresher course” in our calling as parents, as well.
Christian parents have a huge responsibility. We are charged with teaching our children the ways of God and discipling and disciplining them effectively to that end. “You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” – Deuteronomy 6:7 We are to show our children how to live, think, act, and worship.
Be sure to catch the rest of Kelly’s post at Wisdom Begun.
