Episode Synopsis

Being entrusted with children is a great honour and a heritage from the Lord. Children are to be shepherded to know the Lord and to receive the faith so that they can in turn pass it on to their children. One generation is to commend the Lord's mighty acts to another (Psalm 145:4). As our children grow, the goal should be for them to internalize the gospel so that biblical wisdom can be applied to the various experiences of life. We also know that we cannot give our children that which we do not have ourselves. Parents, our charge is to trust in the Lord as we shepherd our children. Our love of Scripture, our freedom in Christ, and the eyes we have been given to see the world correctly should all become contagious and obvious things for our children to pick up. "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations" (Deut. 7:9).
