To train a boy in the way he should go you must go that way yourself.Don't stop with telling your boy to do right. Show him how.Be careful, father, or while you are taking one lap around the devil's track your boy will make six.
We are the ones our children look up to in this world. If you live a sinful life, don't be surprised when your children follow the same path. The Lord has given us a responsibility to raise up our children in a Christian home with Biblical principles. We are not to drop our kids of at church while we go do whatever pleases us. If church isn't important enough for mom and dad why should the children go? Church is not a baby sitter, it is a place to praise and worship the Lord Jesus Christ that died for our retched sins.
If the parents go out and party all the time what does the child think is right? If the parents swear like sailors, what should the child think is right? If the parents cheat on their spouse, what does the child think is right? Remember that your children look up to you more than you think. They have plenty of friends but they have only two parents. When we don't walk the straight and narrow way ourselves, we give the devil the biggest kind of a chance to get our children!
Proverbs 22:6 (New King James Version)
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
