According to Psalms 127:3-5chil-
dren are valuable. Too often chil­
dren are seen as liabilities rather
than assets. But the Bible calls chil­
dren “a gift from the Lord.” We can
learn valuable lessons from their
inquisitive minds and trusting spir­
its. Those who see children as a
distraction or nuisance should in­
stead see them as an opportunity to
shape the future. We dare not treat
children as an inconvenience when
God values them so highly.
Apart from religious influence,
the family is the most important unit
of society. However, the family and
the home can never exert their proper
influence while ignoring the Bibli­
cal standard. The Bible calls for
discipline and recognition of au­
thority. If children do not learn this
at home, they will go out into soci­
ety without the proper attitude to­
ward authority and law. There is
always the exceptional child, but
off in January.

The very fabric of the values and
ideology, that transfers into the
meaning of safety and stability for
our children has been unraveled,
shaken, distorted and destroyed.
Parents snipped the thread o f fam­
ily values by following the dictates
of a government that abolished
public prayer and stopped praying
in the home. Our children are
abused and misused by the very
ones on whom they are dependent
for their care and survival.

government of the United States of

most tell us that the child is largely
what the home has made him. The
only way to provide the right home
for your children is to put the Lord
over them and fully instruct them in
the ways of the Lord. These include
discipline, love, service, honesty,
integrity and prayer. You are re­
sponsible for the home you pro­
vide for them.
‘T rain up a child in the way it
should go, and when he is old he
will not depart from it (Prov. 22:6).”
This proverb is a favorite in train­
ing to honor authority, obey and
follow instruction. It discourages
rebellion, stubbornness and dis­
obedience. It exhorts parents to
practice consistent discipline and
corporal correction in rearing chil­
dren, and to recognize that children
are trained to obedience by these
and not by ‘time-outs.’
“My son, keep your father’s
commands and do not forsake your
mother’s teaching. Bind them upon
