BUILDING A GODLY FAMILY
The institution of the family has been going for a rough tumble in this last generation. People have lost hope for marriage, the building block of the family. Loose morals have caused a great number of people to abandon marriage for the more informal experience of living together.
As a result, this generation's children have suffered. Lacking love, God's standards, self-discipline and a vision for godly living, they idle away their time, waste their cash and often defile their bodies. If it wasn't for distractions called television, movies and games, the parents would be forced to notice their mistakes much earlier on. As it is, parents assume their children who are controlled by modern media are safe from extreme dangers. Don't we know this is not true?
The material below is designed for two kinds of parents.
- (1) The parents who grew up in a generation knowing next to nothing of good parenting. They are looking on how to start a good family.
- (2) The parents who are trying to improve their parenting. Some are struggling, maybe on the verge of giving up. Others are trying to go back to the biblical foundations for parenting.
Our own family has gone through most of the problems families face twice. With eight children, some fully grown and our youngest at 18 months, we can see the whole process at once. We see the results of what works and what doesn't work. But even more, we have carefully studied and applied God's Word to parenting. You will be astonished to see how clearly God cares for you by presenting you answers for your practical parenting problems with lots of charts and graphics!
