Parenting and the Propagation of God's Kingdom

The goal of parenting (from The Faithful Parent, Scott & Peace): “The goal for Christian parents is to be faithful to God’s Word by His grace and for His glory" (p. 4).

Main idea: Four basic principles of faithful parenting from the lives of Lois, Eunice, and Timothy.

1. Pursue your own faithful personal walk with God (2 Timothy 1:5a).
2. Model and teach your children what that personal walk with God entails (2 Timothy 1:5b).
3. Appreciate the precious and powerful nature of God’s Word (2 Timothy 3:15a).
4. Trust God’s purposes for using the Word in your children’s lives (2 Timothy 3:15b).
