Right Parenting: God's Way

Book Cover & Preview Text
Parenting is hard work to a degree that parents make it hard by failing to follow the simple principles that God sets forth in the Bible: it is a joy and not a burden.
The bible principles are timeless and can be used successfully by any generation.
To neglect one’s duty before God as a parent is to forfeit the blessing inherent in the task, and those who do so take on burdens that God never intended for them to bear. Christian parents are to live sacrificially, but as parents we are called to a special kind of surrender in order to raise godly children. Parenting can be hard. We all know that. But God wants us to maintain a spirit of thankfulness, not of resentment or regret. Enjoy your children and the challenges that come with them.

I often wonder why we, as parents, are so reluctant to tell our children how valuable they are to us. In Matthew 19:14 (NIV) Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Jesus saw the little children as a very important part of His kingdom. That is because without them; we have no future. The children are a pure expression of God's love. They don't have to break through the barriers that plague adults. That is why Jesus said, "Truly I say unto you, unless you repent and become like little children, you can never enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3 (AMP)
So therefore, enjoy time together with your family. Spending a few hours in God’s creation (swimming, fishing, playing at a park) can be a wonderful way of keeping relationships fresh in a busy family.
As parents, we can show our love by setting aside special times with our family. Communicating warm, loving approval to our children doesn't just happen naturally.
