Parenting by Example

“So the child grew and became strong in spirit…”
Luke 1:80 

Instead of the phrase, “Do as I say,” it should be said, “Do as I do!” As parents, the greatest lesson we can teach our children is to live a godly life. And, the only way to teach this is to live it.

J. Edgar Hoover said, “Parents who do not carry out their duty of instructions by example fail to assume their responsibility in a manner which is detrimental to our Christian society and increases the need for teaching by organized religion. If we are to have an enduring Christina nation, we must strive to reduce crime. The plan and simple maxims of the Bible contain the essential rules which should govern human conduct.”

Thought for the Day:
Between the child and God stands the parent:
A separating wall or a connecting link.
