The Essence of Parenting: Shaping Human Souls

Psalm 78 highlights the importance of parenting and emphasizes that it goes beyond simply exercising authority and teaching behavioral expectations. Parenting is about shaping the heart and soul of a child, introducing them to the existence, character, and plan of God. Parents are called to reveal the great secrets of God's power, glory, goodness, and grace to their children. By understanding the ultimate fact of God's existence, children can properly evaluate and understand life. Parents are encouraged to seize every opportunity to introduce their children to the mystery of God's existence and ensure that this knowledge is imparted consistently throughout their lives.
