  • Godly Parents Discipline and Disciple

    Godly Parents Discipline and Disciple
    May 21 2025
    Discipline and discipleship—two words that require intention, consistency, and love. As godly parents, we’re not just correcting behavior; we’re shaping hearts and forming character. Our calling is not only to guide children in right and wrong, but also to lead them to walk with God. Think of Eli the priest in 1 Samuel. Though his sons served in the tabernacle, they lacked reverence for God. Eli failed to discipline them when it mattered most, and the result was tragic—for them and for the nation. On the other hand, consider Mary and Joseph, who raised Jesus with structure and spiritual devotion, regularly taking Him to the temple and guiding Him in obedience and wisdom (Luke 2:41–52). Discipline without love leads to rebellion, but discipline with discipleship leads to righteousness and peace. It’s more than time-outs or consequences—it’s daily moments of training, teaching, praying, and modeling Christ in the home.

  • Parent Toddlers with Patience and Purpose

    Parent Toddlers with Patience and Purpose
    May 20 2025
    Parenting toddlers can feel like running a marathon while juggling—and sometimes blindfolded. Their big emotions, endless curiosity, and surprising independence make every day an adventure. But God has not left us without direction. His Word reminds us that discipline done with love leads to peace—not just for us, but for the child. In Proverbs 29:17, we’re shown a simple but profound truth: intentional parenting, filled with correction, patience, and love, produces joy and peace in the long run. The goal isn't control—it's character. Think of Hannah, the mother of Samuel (1 Samuel 1–2). She entrusted her son to the Lord and even at a young age, Samuel learned to respond to God’s voice. Why? Because his early years were shaped by a praying, intentional mother who knew her parenting had purpose beyond the moment. In the same way, parenting toddlers requires more than surviving each tantrum—it’s about shaping hearts with purpose and patience, trusting that every correction and every gentle word is building something eternal.

  • Guide Teens with Truth and Trust

    Guide Teens with Truth and Trust
    May 19 2025
    The teenage years can feel like walking a tightrope—for both teens and parents. It's a season filled with identity shifts, emotional swings, and new freedoms. As godly parents, we’re called not just to correct but to guide with truth and lead with trust. In 1 Timothy 4:12, Paul encourages young Timothy not to be intimidated by his youth but to lead with integrity and character. Paul didn’t talk down to him; he spoke into his potential, and trusted him to rise to the calling on his life. This is our model as parents of teens: we speak truth, even when it's hard, and we build trust, even when it feels risky. Truth anchors them; trust empowers them.

  • Parent Young Adults into Purpose

    Parent Young Adults into Purpose
    May 18 2025
    Parenting doesn’t stop when our children turn 18—it simply shifts. As they step into adulthood, godly parents have a unique and sacred role: to guide them into purpose, not just independence. Jeremiah was young when God called him. In fact, Jeremiah protested, saying, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young” (Jeremiah 1:6). But God reminded him, “Do not say, ‘I am too young’… I am with you” (v.7-8). This is what young adults need from us—not micromanagement, but affirmation. Not just correction, but confidence in God's calling over their lives. Our job as parents of young adults is to call out the purpose God planted in them before they were born. We are not the authors of their destiny, but we are mentors, intercessors, and encouragers on the path God is unfolding before them.

  • Let Go, but Not Letting Up in Prayer

    Let Go, but Not Letting Up in Prayer
    May 15 2025
    Parenting is a beautiful, challenging journey. As parents, we often walk the fine line between nurturing our children and letting them go as they grow. This can be particularly hard when we see them struggle or step into new challenges. We want to protect them, guide them, and have them walk the path we believe is best. But God, in His wisdom, calls us to trust Him with the work He has begun in them. In Philippians 1:6, Paul writes that God who began a good work in our children will carry it on to completion. This means we are not the ones who finish their story—God is. Our role as parents is to pray, nurture, and trust that God is working in them even when we don’t see immediate results. Think of Hannah, who prayed for years for a child, only to give him up to the Lord at a young age. She trusted that God would fulfill His promises. We, too, are called to “let go” of control but “not let up” in our prayers for our children. We trust that the seeds we’ve planted in their hearts will grow, even if we’re not always there to see them bloom.

  • Godly Parents Teach Responsibility Through Chores

    Godly Parents Teach Responsibility Through Chores
    May 14 2025
    In a world filled with instant gratification and digital distractions, teaching responsibility can feel like swimming upstream. But God has called us as parents to prepare our children for both spiritual and practical maturity—and one of the best ways to start is with something simple: chores. Proverbs points us to the ant—a tiny creature that works diligently without needing to be micromanaged. No one is forcing it to gather food, yet it does so faithfully, preparing for what lies ahead. This is the essence of responsibility: doing what needs to be done even when no one is watching.

  • Teach Honouring Parents in a Culture of Rebellion

    Teach Honouring Parents in a Culture of Rebellion
    May 13 2025
    We live in a world where disrespect is normalised and rebellion is often celebrated as boldness. From social media to sitcoms, honouring parents is portrayed as outdated or unnecessary. But God’s Word says differently. Honouring our father and mother is not just a family value—it is a divine command, and it's the first commandment with a promise. Consider the story of Samuel and Eli in 1 Samuel 2–3. Eli’s sons, who were raised in the temple, rebelled against God and dishonoured both their heavenly and earthly authority. But Samuel, though not Eli’s biological child, listened, respected, and obeyed. As a result, God honoured him, and he grew in wisdom and favour.
