It is not an easy task to instill God’s Word in our young people’s hearts until their characters are formed into Christ’s image, but with God’s help, parents must find a way to do it.
It is not easy to take the time from the busy life we all live to pray together that God will have His way with each member of the family. Parents who love God and their family will take some time for it.
It is not easy, when all around us homes are being disrupted by disloyalty, disunity, and divorce, to develop an ever-increasing bond of love and loyalty, but parents must be certain that it is done.
It is not easy to set aside a time each day in which all members of the family are called together for family devotion, but it is part of the training of young people that will help them develop into the fine Christian person you want them to be.
Parents have the first and primary responsibility in teaching and training their children. It is an awesome responsibility that we must take very seriously. As parents are prayerfully using all their skills in teaching and training the children, their efforts can be doubled by making sure the child participates in any available Bible class and other youth activities which are made possible in the Lords church. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Prov. 22:6).
