Bible Baptist Church

Teach your children not only to love and serve the Lord, but also to choose to do so. I am thankful to have children who have chosen to love and serve the Lord, but I want them to continue to do so; not because I say so but because they choose too. A person convinced against their will are of the same opinion still. You can force your child to obey God, but as adults they must choose to do so. Rules without Relationship will produce Rebellion in your adult children.  We must encourage our children to choose to follow the Lord, not just follow the rules. No one's children are perfect and we must encourage one another in parenting, especially those families with difficult children. None of us are perfect parents, nor have we parented perfectly. It will take a personal relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ to perfect our children, so let's teach them to choose to obey Him.
