A good post by Jason Helopoulos about Christian parenting.
Summary:
- Thou shall not worship thy children or their future
- Thou shall not expect or portray thyself as a perfect Christian family
- Thou shall not exchange the Christian faith for mere moralism in thy children
- Thou shall not be impatient with thy sons and daughters (or even their teenage friends)
- Thou shall lead thy children in regular family worship and journey to the house of the Lord weekly
- Thou shall enjoy thy children and be demonstrative in showing affectionate love to them
- Thou shall nurture thy marriage for the good of thy children
- Thou shall seek the Lord with all thy heart, soul, mind, and strength knowing it is the foundation of Christian parenting
- Thou shall not depend upon thy own strength, but that of Christ’s in parenting
- Thou shall ultimately entrust thy children to the care of thy Heavenly Father
