A Godly Example for Your Children
“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 Bible teaches that we are to be godly examples in
everything that we do. When we do not
live by example we bring great inconsistency into our home. As a parent, your actions must back up your
words. Do you realize that when you live
contrary to Christ’s teachings you are misrepresenting God before your
children?
How
can you teach your children in God’s ways then live contrary to them? You have a great responsibility before God
and your children to be obedient to the Word of the Lord.
Thought for the Day: “Only as genuine Christian holiness and Christ-like love are expressed in the life of a parent, can the child have the opportunity to inherit the flame and not the ashes. --Stephen Green
