As I consider the necessity of raising up worshippers of the one true and living God, it yet brings parenting into an even more important role and responsibility. I am afraid that too often parents consider the importance of rearing a child who can perform chores around the home, excel in academics and athletics, and yet fail to recall that God wants His children to worship and honor him above all else!
Since children will emulate what parents promote, it is extremely important that parents reveal the principle of wholehearted devotion to each other and to their Lord! That has helped me to remain focused in rearing children that would please the Lord, no matter what!
- What has been your constant reminder to help you rear your children to be worshippers of the one true and living God?
- How best do you think you could work intentionally with your children toward the fulfillment of Malachi 1:11, a passage that states: “For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.”?
- Join the conversation; I’d love to hear from you!
