Raising Your Kids to Love the Lord
Dave Stone
There is no magical wand, nor any specific parenting regime
to follow to raise your kids right. There are fantastic guides though and
thoughtful mentors who have been there and have gained wisdom from the
experience. Dave Stone is one of them, pastor to Southeast Christian Church in
Louisville KY, father of 3 children who love the Lord. He offers his experience
and advice in this book.
“Your faith must be both a noun and a verb. It can’t be all
talk. It’s who you are and how you conduct yourself, consistently, daily. It’s
how your actions grow out of your identity in Christ.”
You need firstly to be consistent in your own walk with the
Lord. Don’t just be a Sunday Christian, being a walking hypocrite the rest of
the week, your children see that and will follow suit.
Get into the Word, the only book that is going to provide
the wisdom you need to pray for and cover your children in this world. Let your children see you in the Word.
Pray for your children, that their walk with the Lord will
grow and be fulfilling. Pray for their present as well as their future. Pray
together, letting your children into your prayer life, modeling a dynamic relationship
with the creator.
Consistency is the key. “God is the very essence of
consistency”.
Ideas for discipline, teaching, correcting and modeling the
Christian walk are all in this book. No sure fire plan, no detailed listing of
what to do when, simply a father and a pastor reaching out to suggest Godly
principles with consistency that will make a difference in how you parent.
Fantastic and thorough look at parenting and raising your
children to love the Lord.
