Raising Children

Scripture and encouragement for intentionally raising children in the Lord.

Selected Sub-Tab

"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."

It does not guarantee a trouble-free path, but it holds out hope that faithful, repeated investment in a child's heart and habits can bear lasting fruit. In both smooth seasons and seasons of resistance or wandering, parents are encouraged to keep pointing children toward God's path rather than abandoning the work when results feel slow.
