Great Parenting...#6

Priority 6:

Direction

By: Dennis Rainey
We have found that most Christian parents desire more than anything else to raise children who will grow up to love Jesus Christ and walk with Him.

With that overall objective in mind, we have searched the Scriptures to discern what biblical goals we should aim for with our children.

The four qualities we developed give us four clear goals to pursue as we mold our children. Nearly every issue or trap our children will encounter can be linked to a young person’s need in one of four areas:
Identity:

Every person is born with a unique, divinely imprinted identity.

If we want to properly guide our children to a healthy self-identity, we must acknowledge and support the Creator’s design in three key areas:

spiritual identity, emotional identity, and sexual identity.

We must also communicate with them one of the most important messages they will ever receive—

“You are made in the image of God. You are one valuable child.”
Character:

From Genesis to Revelation, character development is a major theme of God’s work in people. And it’s one of the major assignments God gives us as parents.

Character is how your child responds to authority and life’s circumstances.
Relationships:

None of us was intended to make a journey through life alone.

We need the strength, comfort, encouragement, resources, and power provided by God and others.
