Christian parents have their greatest call to discipleship right in their own homes. And it seems pretty straightforward. Scripture says, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4).
In other words, don’t be overbearing with your kids, but bring […]

It’s axiomatic—the one who teaches children is the one who shapes their worldview, and thus, society at large.
The Bible assigns the teaching and training of children to parents. “Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).
But of course, […]

GUEST: KEN HAM, author, Founder and President, Answers in Genesis
With a growing and aggressive segment of America in full-throated opposition to God and those who follow Him, the question has become “How can biblical Christians remain faithful and raise their children to do the same?”
Ken Ham, the founder and president of Answers in Genesis, Creation Museum, and Ark Encounter and our […]
Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and … he said to them, “Why do you do such things, the evil things that I hear from all these people?” … But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for the Lord desired to put them to death. 1 Samuel 2 22-25 excerpts

Raising children who love and obey God. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
With the abundance of child-rearing resources, it may seem surprising that the New Testament has only one verse that directly addresses the issue.
Ephesians 6:4 says, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”
“Don’t provoke” means don’t be overbearing. “Bring them up” implies a daily, ongoing endeavor. “Discipline” […]
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
Christians spend a lot of time working toward political change, whether through issue advocacy or electing certain candidates.
Christians also spend a lot of time trying to “redeem the culture”, through social programs and events or creating more wholesome media, music, etc.
All of these are well-intentioned attempts to lead people and society toward God. […]
What is the biggest challenge? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
It’s Christians parents raising children who love God as adults. Consider how the sons of Eli, Israel’s high priest, turned out. Or you may know or have an adult child who was raised in a Christian home, but now has little to no interest in the things of God.
What to do? Christian parents must authentically follow Christ themselves and intentionally cultivate […]
Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the Lord. 1 Samuel 2:12
It is a repeating pattern throughout history—God-fearing parents raising children who turn out not to be God-fearing as adults. Consider the ungodliness of the sons of Israel’s high priest, Eli (1 Samuel 2:12) or King David’s son, Absalom. Perhaps you know or have personally experienced […]
