Godly Parents
God want us to be godly parents to:
"Discipline your son (and daughter) while there is hope, but do not indulge your angry resentments by undue chastisement and set yourself to his ruin." (Proverbs 19:18)
For whom the Lord loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights. (Proverbs 3:12)
He who spares his rod [of discipline] hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines diligently and punishes him early. (Proverbs 13:24)
Train up a child in the way he should go [and in keeping with his individual gift or bent], and when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God's favor) to those who hear it. (Ephesians 4:29)
The commandments I give you today must be in your hearts. Make sure your children learn them. Talk about them when you are at home. Talk about them when you walk along the road. Speak about them when you go to bed. And speak about them when you get up. Write them down and tie them on your hands as a reminder. Also tie them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses. Also write them on your gates. (Deuteronomy 6:6-9)
"A righteous man who walks in his integrity; how blessed are his sons [and daughters] after him" (Proverbs 20:7)
The father of the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) shall greatly rejoice, and he who becomes the father of a wise child shall have joy in him. (Proverbs 23:24)
To the son and daughter,
20My son, keep your father's [God-given] commandment and forsake not the law of [God] your mother [taught you].
21Bind them continually upon your heart and tie them about your neck.
22When you go, they [the words of your parents' God] shall lead you; when you sleep, they shall keep you; and when you waken, they shall talk with you.
23For the commandment is a lamp, and the whole teaching [of the law] is light, and reproofs of discipline are the way of life (Proverbs 6:20-23)
