Children In the Home

God has given parents the duty of raising their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. They are not given the prerogative of delegating that duty to schoolteachers, peers, or child-care workers. Parents must involve themselves in their children’s lives. Yes, it is time consuming. The difficulty comes when parents fail to follow the simple principles set forth by God. In neglecting their God given duty they forfeit the blessing inherent in parenting. That’s when parenting becomes a burden. A burden that God never meant for parents to bear.
