Child rearing


Isaiah 54: 13  (NKJV)
All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.

The family is the basic unit of society, and ever since the beginning of time, the family has been in trouble.
The best results for having a stable marriage, and for rearing children, has always been to follow the Word of God.

I wonder if this young boy in Ohio, who shot and killed his classmates last week, was brought up by the Lord?

The reason that the family is in critical condition today, is that we’ve not followed God’s rule for life.
The formula for a successful home life, is applying God’s Word.

As I read the morning news these days, I don’t see many testimonies of children who have peace.
I also don’t see many marriages, that are established and strengthened by the Word of God.

Maybe the God that performed the very first wedding in the Garden of Eden, knew a thing or two about marriage?
Maybe the God that our nation continues to neglect, knew a thing or two about raising children?

Consider what might happen, if we returned to the bible, to manage our families.
Consider what might happen to our families, if we returned to the God of the bible……….
