Helpful Learning Resources

Children come without guarantees. No matter how well we take care of them, the don’t always perform as we think they should. They’re often hard to steer. Or they may lose their “brakes.”

We must help our children grow into godly people. David Wilkerson, said, “Good parents do not always produce good children, but devoted, dedicated, hardworking mothers and fathers can weigh the balance in favor of decency and moral character.”

To assist in your request to be good parents, here are ten commandments for guiding your children:

  1. Teach them, using God’s Word (Deuteronomy 6:4-9).
  2. Tell them what’s right and wrong (1 Kings 1:6).
  3. See them as gifts from God (Psalm 127:3).
  4. Guide them in godly ways (Proverbs 22:6).
  5. Discipline them (Proverbs 29:17).
  6. Love them unconditionally (Luke 15:11-32).
  7. Do not provoke them to wrath (Ephesians 6:4).
  8. Earn their respect by example (1 Timothy 3:4).
  9. Provide for their physical needs (1 Timothy 5:8).
  10. Pass your faith along to them (2 Timothy 1:5).

There are no guarantees. But we can have an edge in trying to “weigh the balance”.
