Back to the Bible (Back to Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for Parents

Parenting is a divine role and calling delegated to us by our Creator. Parents are not just providers and caregivers, but also spiritual guardians tasked with the sacred duty of nurturing their children's spiritual growth. We have ultimate authority over our children and are the primary educators of our children. We teach at all times by words and demonstration of the spiritual biblical principles that guide us throughout the day for their spiritual well-being.

In the hustle and bustle of life, parents often grapple with striking a balance between imparting worldly wisdom and divine instruction. As spiritual guardians, it's crucial for parents to guide their children to meaningfully engage and apply the Word of God at all times. Parents are to guide their children in understanding and obeying God's commandments, as discussed in Deuteronomy 6: 1-7.

Parents should be the first to teach their children, by word and demonstration, the following:

• Pray
• Study
• Fast
• Praise
• Worship
• Hear the Lord
• Discern between truth and error
• Forgive
• Love

We encourage parents to lead by example in demonstration and to take an active role in their children's spiritual education. Be vigilant about who is teaching, counseling, and administrating within the school system, and take a more active role in your child's growth overall as we are held accountable by the utmost authority, the great giver of life, our heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ.
