Teach Your Children
Sermonette by Bill CherryThe importance of setting an example for our children is paramount in guiding them toward a life aligned with God's ways. As parents, we must embody a passion for God, loving Him with all our heart, soul, and strength, and keeping His Word in our hearts. By living out this passion, as David did with his unwavering trust and confidence in God when facing Goliath, we provide a powerful model of righteous living. Our example of faith, love, and adherence to God's laws becomes a gift to our children, offering them knowledge of the Scriptures, confidence, and guides for their lives. Teaching diligently also means showing our children the joy and abundant life that come from obeying God's commands. Just as Mickey Mantle's father instilled a love for baseball in him from infancy through consistent teaching and example, we must diligently teach our children about God's Kingdom and the wonders of living by His laws. When we demonstrate genuine care, stop to listen, and engage with them eye-to-eye, we convey that they are valued, reinforcing the lessons of God's love and care. Our unique relationship as parents allows us to build a wall of protection through faith, helping our children resist the selfish and false ideas of the world. If we do not teach them God's Word and way, who will?
