John Wilmot once said, “Before I was married I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories!”
I think that statement sums up how most parents feel when raising their Children and what a great responsibility children are! The Bible calls children a "gift" from God in Psalm 127:3, but sometimes parents can feel completely overwhelmed in raising their Children. That's why I decided to teach on the very subject.
Driving home from the hospital after my daughter was born, I remember that I would laugh at loud for few minutes because I was overwhelmed with joy. Then I cried for a few minutes because of the overwhelming responsibility that I felt to now raise this child! I did this all the way home. Laughing, crying, laughing, crying!
As a Christian, we have a major responsibility not to raise perfect children, but to raise children who love and fear God! Here are three ways that we can instill the love and fear of God in our children and "Raise them Right!"
1. LOVING God in front of our children!
2. TEACHING the Word of God to them.
3. DEDICATING them to God on a daily basis.
