Verse Of The Week

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." -- Proverbs 22:6

As we get ready to begin Bible School at our church tonight, this verse is on my heart. We must realize that children will never know or find the right way on their on. It is our duty as parents to train them in that way. Many may wonder what the "right way" really is. I am thoroughly convinced that the ONLY right way is God's way and the only way to know God's way is through His Word. We, as mothers and fathers, must take the initiative in properly training and teaching our children according to the Word of God.

Without a doubt, this requires a great deal of effort and dedication on our parts but the rewards are well worth the investment. Proverbs tell us in this verse that if we will train our children in the right way then they will NOT depart from it. The Word of God is inescapable. Even if they don't always abide by the teachings of God's Word, if we as parents do our part they will always know what the right way is. Let me encourage everyone to be faithful in training up our children in the right way. They will surely need that training as they grow.
