Training Your Child

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

Train Up Your Child

Many self-proclaimed secular parenting experts consider training your children an absurd concept. Though scripture commands it, these parenting gurus see training junior as thwarting his creativity and individualism.

But let’s think this through. Don’t these experts realize that our public schools, Hollywood, Madison Avenue, and the internet intentionally and effectively train our kids every day?

Kids are going to be trained. Wouldn’t it make sense that those who know them best and love them most should have the greatest sway over their lives? And there’s always a windfall when those same parents live their lives and train their kids by the time tested mandates of Scripture.
