Training Your Children
What does the word train mean? Simply to instruct or to teach
Can you imagine babies being left alone to raise themselves? That is what most fathers and some mothers have done with their children. I am also guilty to that effect. One of the key elements to training a child is what type of influence someone has over them.
We see the evidence of most children who have not been properly instructed or taught by how they behave in our society. Young men have no respect for God, Jesus, women or the law because they have not been properly taught. It no mystery why young men and women, curse out in the public, act any kind of way, call women and anyone else horrific names because they were lacking a Godly man or Godly woman in their life ( a godly man mostly). It is no mystery why so many young women dress and now have multiple men and each child have a different father, because they have not been taught the proper way to act and dress around men. That is why God has plague the world with all these deadly sexual diseases,because men and women abuse their bodies with strangers and people they don't know.
If you let your young daughters wear anything, say anything, go anywhere, and fall for the first boy who say's that she look's good, expect an early pregnant teenager with multiple men and multiple children.
Television, friends, Gangs, social media, telephone, computers are now teaching our children how to behave. The truth of the matter is that children parents don't know how to act and behave and cannot properly instruct their children because they were not properly taught. All this lead them and us to behaving ungodly
and wickedly sinful before God and Jesus Christ. Children act up at home and in the public, for lack of training at home.
Proverbs 22nd chapter, 6th verse, Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
It is the father and mother responsibility to train their children at home. The first thing to teach your child is to fear and honor God & Jesus Christ, and bring them to church to get further instruction how they are to live.
How can a parent train their child, if they lack wisdom themselves. James 1st Chapter, 5th verse, If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men(women), liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Parents you are the first instructor
Deuteronomy 11th chapter, 18 - 21 verses, Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes 19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up 20 And thou shalt write them upon the door post of thine house, and upon thy gates 21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children.
Deuteronomy 32nd chapter, 46 verse, And he said unto them (Moses), Set your heart unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the word of this law.
Fathers & mothers have the first responsibility to train, instruct and teach their children how to fear God and Jesus Christ, and how to live and behave in this world. Then parents come to God's house along with your child or children for instructions in training your children.
