Raising godly children is a task that cannot be accomplished apart from God and His grace. I know I could never do it on my own! It is one thing to raise children who by today's standards "stay out of trouble". My goal is larger than that.
Malachi 2:15 Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking? Godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth.
God desires that we raise up godly not just "good"(by our own standards) children. How do we do this? We NEED God and His grace, His strength, and definitely His WORD! This book shown here is a great resource. I know we have our Bibles to use and I am definitely not saying to replace it in any means. What this book does is take the scripture and arranges them as a sort of topical Bible for parents. It includes hundreds of verses on over 50 areas of sin. This book lists what the Bible says about certain sins, parallel consequences, rewards for those who do not indulge in these sins, object lessons, ideas for rewards, and examples of people in the Bible who dealt with these issues, and a lot more. This book can be a great tool as you seek to raise a godly seed. For more info visit Doorposts.
