Beloved parents, mark well the vitally important moral principle found in these two passages!
Children are very accurate observers of all they see you do. Your actions in daily life, dear Dad and Mom, tell them if you’re loving and living for Christ. They will ask, “What is this?” regarding everything they see you do.
If you live in love for Him, then your words about Him will carry real moral power with your children, causing them to further ask, “What do you mean?”
Dad and Mom, don’t let this world’s life and career responsibilities or its recreations and attractions so capture your heart that your children see there is something more important to you in life than Jesus Christ!
Ed.
