Christian Parenting
Christian
parenting is what all parents should be doing. As Christians we
should be doing God's will and teaching our children about Him
and embeding the desire to become 'children of God'.
Being a
parent isn't an easy job in this day and age. Everything of the
world is going against you. That is when as parents, you should
make a covenant to raise your kids as godly as possible. Teach
them about the Lord, Teach them that Christ is to be our number
one priority. Pray with them.
To be a
parent these days isn't just to tell your kids what they can and
can not do., you have to give reason. Teach that we don't steal
because it is wrong and that we have to give something in order
to receive something. {example.... John 3:16 For God so loved the
world that he gave His ONLY Son that WHOEVER believe in Him will
not die but have eternal life.} God gave His Son so that we could
join Him in heaven.
To get
into deeper issues, not to have adulterous affairs, married or
not. This is told to us in Exodus 20:14. We are only to be
involved with the person we marry. For a covenant in the eyes of
God is eternal. Once to beings are united they are not to be un-united.
Now of course I don't mean if your spouse is abusing you that you
have to sit there and take it. A marriage covenant is to be of
love.
There
are other things we should prepare our children for also as
parents. The fact that there are occultic religions out there
that are not of God although they claim to be. Also those
religions that refuse God and Jesus Christ His Son. We are to
respect those people for their opinion and show them the love
that Christ has shown us. |
