Our children are under God’s moral law and its demands. His redeemed people are above law, for Jesus is their law fulfiller; but in spirit they keep and honor God’s holy law for it is just and good. In addition to their duty to God, I would teach them their duty to their parents, to themselves, to society, and to their country. Parents can do much toward instilling right motives and principles in the minds of their children. By precept and example lead them to be honest, moral, upright, virtuous, prompt, cheerful, obliging, and all that helps to make a noble, manly man. In doing this and guarding the ways of evil we wield a great influence for good. It is no credit to us as Baptists when our children stray from the path of rectitude. Let us by precept and example, do what we can to prepare them for life’s battles, commending them to God and his grace.
What I have written is submitted to your judgment. “Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.” “Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.” |
