Parenting....Discipleship





Let us as parents not loose our focus on our goal in bringing up our children.

What is your goal dear mom?
Parenting, when understood biblically, is basically a discipling relationship. When God gives a child to a Christian couple, they must realize that their little bundle of joy is essentially a pagan.
Their biblical mission is to evangelize him and then to equip him for usefulness to Christ, which is, in essence, discipleship.
Ephesians 6:4

Is your 'goal' to raise a good kid? It goes above and beyond this.
Our goal must be to produce a disciple of Jesus Christ
