Welcome to www. Mumzone.com.au. we gives some more tips
about
Do we want good children or godly children? This question
lies at the heart of our true desire for our children.
In the midst of a secular society, it is easy to leave God
out of the training of our children. For any child to be a "good"
child he must be raised by God's truth, even if the parents do not acknowledge
they are doing so. They enjoy His world, His gifts such as life and bodies but
do not give any thanks to Him. This is the mark of the secular state that
asserts it can run on its own.
We want godly children who know the principles of good
living but also who know God Himself. We desire for our children to have a love
and passion for God that overflows in a love for mankind. Without Jesus Christ
our ability to forgive, have compassion and to love is greatly limited. In
Christ we have the ability to have Christ live His life in us.
Our goals for our children must go far beyond what we can
do in our own strength, which only feeds our pride. We must train our children
to trust God and live a supernatural life in which they walk in His Spirit.
There are many voices telling us how to parent, but the majority of them reject
God's purpose for our children. Because many Christian families have bought
into secular thinking, their children are living as immorally as the society
around them.
Now is the time to
change the course of history through our own families. God can do great and
mighty things through a small number of families that live by His great and
glorious promises and purposes. In this session, we will first focus on God's
principles for raising our children from Deuteronomy 6 and later conclude by
mentioning some practical points on how we can implement these life-changing
principles.
