In this episode of our Wisdom for Parenting series, we consider how Christian parents can faithfully teach the faith to their children. Parents have a unique influence in shaping their children's earliest impressions of God and spiritual things, making it essential that the Christian faith permeate the ordinary life of the home.
We discuss how to cultivate a healthy spiritual climate in the home, make conversations about God and His Word a normal part of family life, and teach children from an early age that they are not the center of the universe. We also consider the value of reading to your children, using catechisms, practicing family devotions, and making the most of Sundays and the life of the local church.
Ultimately, the goal is not merely that our children know the right answers, but that they know the truth of God, see the beauty of Christ, and set their hope in Him.
