Teaching Our Children
Commentary by Ryan McClureChildren are a blessing from God, and we have the God-given responsibility to teach and train them in the right way to live. As our children grow, they see the various holidays and have questions about why people keep them and why we do not, as well as inquiries about the holy days we observe. Each of these exchanges provides opportunities to instruct our children in the truth. If parents fail to teach their children, someone else will, and there is a battle for our children's minds through educational systems and societal influences that often promote ideas contrary to what God desires. God has blessed us with children and commanded us to train them up in a way that leads to a spiritually profitable life, aligning with the way He wants us to live. By teaching them God's commandments and moral living, our children will be equipped with the truth and tools to make correct choices when confronted with teachings contrary to God's way. We must continue to coach and inform them so that, at the appropriate age, they can make their own decisions and live life as God has prescribed.
