Marriage:The Messy-The Marvelous-The Miraculous
Episode 22 When Children are in the Driver's Seat
Parents have the responsibility to raise their children in the faith. Unfortunately, there are times when we hear of the children dictating the spiritual direction of the family. Today we discuss why parents need to be the spiritual leaders of the household and not let the children lead them into a form of idolatry.
Proverbs 22:6 ESV
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Deuteronomy 6:4-7 ESV
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
Ephesians 6:1-4 ESV
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
