Biblical Parenting
The document outlines seven principles of biblical parenting: 1. Put God first as the number one priority 2. Love your children and spouse unconditionally 3. Empower children to build competence through appropriate challenges rather than trying to be perfect parents 4. Show no favoritism among children 5. Teach the true value of wealth is in God, not material things 6. Set clear boundaries with consistent discipline tailored to the child's age 7. Be a role model who teaches God's word through words and actions The power for biblical parenting comes from love, prayer, faith and the Trinity, not from parents alone. A quote illustrates how neither piety nor impiety are necessarily inherited between generations.
