“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old,
he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6 

The mother of George Washington taught her son the biblical ideals of political and social morality, which Washington kept before the nation throughout his life. Family prayers were held twice a day with regular readings from Scriptures. The mother of Dwight L. Moody struggled against poverty on a New England farm. A widow with many problems, she taught her son the importance of eternal values. At seventeen, Moody accepted Christ and a few years later dedicated his life for service. The mother of Ferdinand Foch, the great general of World War II, taught him to put his faith in God and to pray. As a result his men said of him, “General Foch is a man of prayer, a prophet in whom God inspires.” Throughout his life he continued the prayer habits he learned in his mother’s home.

In al these cases, the parents trained their children in the ways of the Lord and they grew up to be great mighty men of God.
