Today's Food For Your Spirit is taken from Proverbs 22:6; "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he won't turn it."
But the big question is "what is the right way?" Is it the American Dream plus a little bit of religiosity? No, it is much more than that. It's raising our children to become disciples of Jesus Christ.The Word of God for the People of God. Glory Be To God.
I think this verse is used all over the world in understanding the task of parenting. We have this responsibility to train, to repeatedly give a sense of direction to our kids, to reinforce it, to model it, to exact consequences when they go in the wrong direction. That's all a part of this word training.
