Being able to share good parenting and grandparenting information is important to me as I seek ways to help strengthen families. Sometimes it means returning to the basics as known through scripture. According to Frank Bernat, senior associate minister of Roswell UMC, these parenting tips may be passed on as a spiritual legacy from generation to generation.
1. Teach them, using God’s Word (Deut. 6:6-9)
2. Tell them what’s right and wrong (Prov. 22:6)
3. See them as gifts from God. (Ps. 127:3-5)
4. Guide them in godly ways. (Prov. 4:1-2)
5. Discipline them. (Deut 21:18-19)
6. Love them unconditionally. (1 Cor. 13:4-7)
7. Do not provoke them to wrath. ( Eph. 6:4)
8. Earn their respect by example. (Titus 2:7)
9. Provide for their physical needs (Tim. 5:8)
10. Pass your faith along to them (2 Tim. 1:13)
