No Greater Joy

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." (3 John 4)

As a man, and a husband, there are many responsibilities we have committed ourselves to. None being much more important than our role as fathers. As a Dad, we are responsible for the Physical, emotional, and spiritual well being of our children. The most important factor of training our kids to walk in the Lord will be the example they get from us. Not how many church services they attend, nor the number of Bible classes they sit through. The "Christ" they see in you will be their greatest teacher. the bible says in Deu 11:19-20, "And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates" I take this to mean all the time. Christ needs to be your life all the time, for the sake of your family. They can smell hypocrisy from a long way off. Love the Lord with all you heart, and with all your mind, and your family will follow you.

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