Parenting is not easy but it is worthwhile. It is a joy to see your children grow, learn, and walk in the faith. Your children are a gift from God entrusted to your care so that you would "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." (Eph. 6:4).
Children are instructed to "obey" their parents (Eph. 6:1). We, as parents, need to help them learn the importance and priority of obedience. John Piper has written a powerful article that reminds us how important obedience is for the parent and the child.
You will certainly benefit from a thoughtful reading of what he has written. You can read it HERE.
I pray that you will find his counsel to be helpful and encouraging. Obedience in the life of a child is vitally important. It involves more than doing the right thing at the right time - it is an issue that may well affect their eternal destiny.
May God help us to raise children who know and understand what "obedience" means.
Praying for you as you raise your sons and daughters to live in obedience.
Pastor Mike
