Walking Worthy Of Salvation As A Family

Good day friends! This morning we are in Ephesians 6:1-4. Here we continue the household code in the book of Ephesians. This time we are specifically discussing our responsibilities as children and parents.

As designed by God, the nuclear family is the bedrock of civilization and the foundation for all individuals on Earth. God's plan for us as seen in the Bible clearly involves the pedagogical upbringing of children by their parents. As a unit the husband and wife are to raise their own children in such a way as to impart to them the knowledge of the Lord. Friends we can not outsource this responsibility. You have a unique ability to influence your kids for the Lord

Let us emphasize friends that you are teaching your children about God weather you intend to or not. The way they see you praying is how they will come to practice prayer. The time they see you spend reading the bible is how they will learn to spend in God's word. The attitudes that you carry toward God and others is the attitude that they will adopt. Either you are leading your children to walk with the Lord, or you are leading them to walk without the Lord.

The church can not undo with 2-4 hours a week what we are doing in the hearts of our children for 40 hours a week. We must take seriously the responsibility that we have been given by God. To bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
